I haveseen a lot of discussion about the pros and cons of wearing a helmet. Well here is my input. Getting killed because of a head injury is NOT so much a concern to me as seeing the results ofSurviving a head injury. Seeing a perfectly healthy person reduced to a wheelchair boundperson is a devastating thing. Seeing a 20 year old with his entire life ruined just because he chose to me macho and show off his bravado my not wearing a helmet is a sobering thing.
Most of the head injuries are caused my either motorcycles or diving accidents. In my years of working in rehab I have seen plenty of head injuries. Iknow ofa person who lost his entire face because he hit a wall and tore his entire face off. So every time I get on my Gold Wing you can bet I wear a full face helmet, as much as I hate the thing, I still wear it because I know what CAN happenif I do not wear it.
Thanks for taking the time to read my opinion.
