Today i was riding (downhill mountain bike)up in the hills with a friend and he came of at relativly slow speed probally just under 20 kph the obstical he was navigating over was at least 5 foot high given that he is six foot and locked into pedals when he came of he landed head first on a log and smashed a helet into two peices.
This saved him from unthinkable head injuries. But left him bruised with a big headeache. His hydration pack also padded the landing.
I was only 2 months ago i critisized the police for fining me 50 dollars for not wearing one.
So after seeing that i will be wearing a hemelt alot more I think that i will be using my gaff helet alot more when i windsurf aswell.
