Helmets and Freedom of Choice

[DorroughBA]

"How many non-helmet wearers does it take to change a light bulb?"

The issue of wearing a helmet while riding bicycles or
motorcycles is one of personal preference (safety). However,
yesterday I had an experience that should convince a few more
people that are unsure of the benefits of helmets. While riding
merrily along the shoulder of the road five large gravel trucks
passed me, one after the other, and they all spewed gravel my
direction. I just put my head down and let the helmet take the
gravel instead of my head. I know that my face was not very well
protected but, it was reassuring to know that I could protect a
at least a portion of my head from serious injury. This has also
happened while riding my motorcycle.
Of course, when this has happened in my car the windshield
sustained the damage.

"Just one more reason to encourage people to protect what
is important to them. If it's not important why protect it!"
