I weare a helmet because its required..... but I gotta be honest. There are times where I feel that I would rather die from not wearing a helmet, than spend the rest of my life wearing a helmet because I am brain damaged after an accident with a helmet.

What a lot of people dont realize is that safety standards for helmets, just like that of car crash tests, are very misleading. Car crash tests are done at low speeds, not highway speeds. Helmets are rated to survive a fall of 10 feet.

If you are going more than 50 mph and have a wreck, in many more cases than not, the helmet is just good for helping find whats left of the head.
