Crash Helmets

[leonardodaforce]

I've just made this quick video about wearing a crash helmet. It includes a very simple test to discover if you actually need to wear one.

Slick production! How did you do the rear-facing camera?

 

[leonardodaforce]

The rear facing camera is a GoPro mounted on a car for the wider shots and then on the handlebars for the closer one.

Bit of a blunt rather sensational non informative video. I don't wear a helmet and don't have the urge to head bang/butt the road,

Very restrained. Did you mean 'This is a patronising load of old cock?'

Yebbut I'm the shy sort.

Tuck those strap adjusters tight under the earlobes. Pet hate. What's the point of wearing a bonce potty for its perceived safety benefit, then not putting it on properly?

Clearly never researched helmets but I like the style of your video. You should know I've hit my head twice in the same place when falling off my bike at the same speed . Pretty much as controlled testing as it gets. The first time I was wearing a helmet and I broke my collar bone (this is because I used my arm to break my fall, not my head). The 2nd time I wasn't wearing a helmet and i tucked my arms in, not wanting to break my collar bone, and my head broke my fall. In fact I remember my head bouncing. I'll give you one guess as to which time I suffered concussion. (clue... It wasn't the 2nd time). Sure I had an egg size lump the 2nd time but I didn't get hospitalised nor suffer dizzy spells for six months. I cannot remember anything about my first accident at all, only remember waking when the paramedics were block and boarding me. The 2nd time I got up, hobbled home with a bad hip and took the opportunity to have the morning off . Therefore, before you post about helmets may I suggest you fully educate yourself into how rigorously they are tested (or not as the case is) and how rotational head injury is caused. Just for the record I still wear a helmet coz it hides my bad hair in the morning

Isn't it an ironic protest? So many people do it that I thought it was an act of civil disobedience: "someone really wants me to wear one so technically I am but I have made it useless because it has no benefit anyway." You mean they really think it's vital but haven't bothered to follow the instructions?

Pathetic. That's the word.
I was quite interested in what you had to say until all the bang your head on the road bollacks. So yes pathetic.

Helluva lot of cushions. Are they a safety measure?

That's a bit personal!
