The annoying thing about helmets...

[lee1980sim]

OK keeping it light and preferably argument free what's the annoying things about helmets to start here's a few

They're always too tight just before I have my hair cut and too loose just after

They're designed for impact resistance yet they need replacing following an impact?

They is uncomfortably hot.

They never encompass a functional peak (to keep the bright sky out of my eyes).

In conjuction with fashionable eye wear one thinks of Darth Vader.

Again In conjuction with fashionable eye wear anyone is unrecognisable - even one's best friend.

They inspire threads like this?

Surely if it's a brief stop, the lid stays on, or is that just me

The most annoying thing about them is that people who wear them HAVE to come up and tell you why you should be wearing one, generally accompanied by a patronising tale about how their postman's sister in laws bosses brother would have been killed outright if he hadn't blah blah blah blah zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............................

People wear them in pubs.
They look like a giant brain eating beetle is attacking the wearer.

 

[mcshroom]

They are a distraction

 

[Stephenite]

Pinching your skin under the chin with the clasp is the most irritating kind of pain known to mankind.

The annoying thing?

They project an (inaccurate) image of cycling to the non-cycling public that riding a bike is dangerous.

Thousands more people wearing them just propagate that image further.

So annoying isn't it.

When my uncle was telling me about the brain hemmorrhage he suffered when after he smacked his head on the kerb cycling back from the pub (no helmet), I almost gave him another one I was so annoyed. *

I definitely wouldn't annoy anybody by telling them about when I nearly broke my helmet smacking it on compacted snow (ice) on a ski run at 40 mph. Anyway that was skiing, so not remotely relevant.

Oh bugger what have I done!

* P.s. by the time he was operated on, apparently he was hours at most from permanent brain damage or death.
