Expensive helmets....waste of time

[snorri]

I got stung by a wasp on my forehead yesterday, if I had been wearing a helmet I would have been safe.

Yebbut if the wasp had been wearing a helmet you wouldn't have been posting on here today.

The big question, was the bat wearing a helmet?

Not a scratch on it.

The bat or the helmet?

I've been hit by a bat in the chest once, in the middle of the night. Luckily it was in the UK, so it wasn't a giant fruit bat** and I'm here to tell the tale. But I think most european bats are insectivores, so use sonar; how does it not "see" something as large as a human?

Yeah, but relative to a bat, we are this size

I was thinking of going aero with my next helmet, so I don't have to stop to remove whatever insect has decided to get a free lift.

Bats operate by sound so this must surely be a SMIDHY

 

[craigwend]

was you wearing this?

 

[sidevalve]

Just to trip back to the OP for a mo - why would the helmet have been relevant anyway ? I mean are your shoes useless because they didn't protect you or your gloves [if you were wearing some]? If your wearing steel toe boots and hit your thumb with a hammer would you throw the boots away ? Not commenting on the helmet thing either way but just don't see the connection.

A visor may have helped:
