I heard a guy on the Dan Patrick show today, on his daily 1-4 ESPN Radio Show, *yes just a couple hours after I heard Big Ben talking on the Mike and Mike show with Erik Kuselias (standing in for Mike Greenberg) and Mike Golic* anyway, this guy emails the show and states something to the effect of this:
When the rider is wearing a normal full face/head helmet that it becomes OVERLY heavy making it prone to RIPPING off of the neck and causing more damage than would happen without. He cited a study in his email by some college (out west, somewhere California, I think) Anyway, sounds plausible... but wouldnt some protection be better than that? I wonder how often the circumstances would allow for NO helmet to be better for you? OR would the old school skull cap version be safer? No idea, Im dying to get a bike and every story like this puts me one step farther away. tw On 6/12/06, Gruss Gott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Jerry wrote: > > With the every day sacrifices that many Americans make to put food on > > their table, the idea that he couldn't wear a helmet, or even stop > > riding, is going to be the focus in people's minds. > > > > In his defense I was fairly rebellious when I was his age too and I'm > sure when things are going so well for you at such a young age you get > quite a serious case of Golden Boy Syndrome going. > > Nevertheless, he was enormously dumb and he's lucky to have lived. > How he conducts himself after this lesson will tell the tale. > > I'm sure once his jaw is unwired he'll be eating a health dose of > crow.
