Has your helmet saved your life poll

[jonny jeez]

Interested to get your feedback as to how effective the common lid is, as opposed just reading data from a study (which is also helpful)

No vicarious stories from the local hairdressers, husbands babysitters best friend.

either your experience or a person you know directly.

You missed
"It might have spared me from injury, I'm not sure"

 

[Friz]

it's saved my bald bonce a few bloody scrapes no doubt.

 

[Norm]

How about "It snagged and gave me whiplash" for some balance?

 

[marzjennings]

"spared from injury without doubt" when mtbing.

I would have voted "never put to the test" for road riding.

I used it to kill a spider (it was MASSIVE). Although i did have to dispose of the helmet afterwards.
but it was worth it. (did i mention it was MASSIVE)

fair point, I'd suggest they use the "it helped but not in a riding way"...it'll give me an indea

That'll come under.."it made me feel less safe"

Not really as I felt perfectly safe up to the point I nearly got dragged backwards from my bike, but I wasn't intending it to be a serious point. Apologies.

Damn I wish I could edit a poll I want to add
- I've have found the helmet to have been no help when i had a fall
- I find the helmet to be detrimental to my ride safety
- I find I take more risks when wearing a helmet
- I find my helmet restricts my view/riding
- I am ambivalent towards helmets but wear one just in case
- I am ambivalent towards helmets so don't wear one

Mine's not been put to the test, although i've hit a couple of tree branches that I probably wouldnt have if I didnt have a mushroom on my head.

 

[lukesdad]

No, but last night a DJ did !

Bit of a biased poll?

Why not just have "Helmets are wonderful" as the only option?

 

[Drago]

How about "it helps me pull chicks and it ends all war and famine?"

 

[black'n'yellow]

you missed out "who gives a fvck".....
