they say more head injuries and deaths occur in the shower.  BIG BROTHER may soon try to force you to wear a helmet in your own shower. :huepfenlol2:

Sometimes when I've had too many Jack and Cokes, when I go to get out of my rocking chair I could pass out and hit my head on the end table.  I know I'd be better off having a helmet on when that happens. 
  I'm going to install a seat belt on the rocker, and wear a helmet when I drink.  -Much safer! :orange:  I'm going to report these modifications of behavior to my disability insurance carrier and see if I would then qualify for a preferred rating!
  If I use a straw, I could wear a full face helmet!  I'm going with a clear face shield, that way I can still enjoy the TV (although the sound may not be as good).

Steve, sounds like you're the type that gets too drunk to fish?

I don't like to fish anyway.  But I do like Red Lobster.  And a bottle of Chardonnay.

Put speakers in your helmet, that'll take care of the sound...also a virtual reality screen could be installed in the face shield... ;)

I like to fish, as long as there's a cooler full of beer, and no bait on the hook.

I agree it is a personal choice and for me I choose to wear mine.  I wear my helmet because I cannot foresee the future, so I never know when I'll have to depend upon it.  Laying in a hospital bed with preventable injuries wishing I'd have worn it it TOO late.  Or worse, laying in a casket with my loved ones wishing I'd have thought of them when I dressed for my last ride is hard to take.  So I wear my helmet and pray I never need it.

MY sister wished that her husband who wore his helmet 99% of the time wore it 100% :(because he lost control at 32 mph landed on his head split it wide open and was dead in 10 minutes with paremedics walking on the sidewalk when he hit the ground. can't fix broken head and now it is hard to fix our broken hearts.

since Washington is a helmet state I see no reason to ride without one anytime.

When Cindy and I bit the dust in Nelson in '07 she had a good sized mark on her helmet from a rock on the soft shoulder we dumped in.  I am sure were it not for the helmets we very possible would have had more than a few scratches.

Helmet 100% for me.

With my 19 years on a Fire Department I have seen helmets do more good then bad. I lived in MN for years where there is no helmet law and I always wore one. Just my opinion.
