Helmet saved my life.

[Riding in Circles]

Not really, but it did save me from a nasty bruise, went for a ride today out in the Kent countryside, I wore my helmet because it was a bit damp when I left, I was coming down a fairly steep hill and there was a mighty "CRACK!" and my head jerked back a little. I stopped to see what had happened and there was light brown smear up the front of my helmet, I assume it was a bee or a wasp doing a kamikaze attack on me.

A good thing about today is that I can say my semi hard Ortlieb rack box is 100% waterproof, unlike my jacket.

Th insect may have been attracted by the helmet, or only hit your head because of the increase in effective size.

Gravitational pull

Gravitational pull

Quite!

I can tell you that dried insect guts are hard to clean off thermoplastic. I have a Briko Twinner, last time I wore it in the sun, a wasp got into an air vent and then got trapped in the airflow channels, all I could hear was the angry buzzing, until I stopped and shook the poor thing out of the lid.

The only things that gravitate towards me are pretty women, nuff said.

But only when you show off your helmet.

Are you a Tampax salesman?

Are you sure? Is this anecdotal or evidence? I also wonder why the insect didn't slide by the slippery surface between the cracks.

On a more serious note, please get yourself checked out for rotational injuries.

They are very hard to remove from leathers as well. My kid runs a mile when I wear my old suit as they are all over the chest and shoulder areas after a ride out in the summer
