I was posting to tell people, remind people that wearing a helmet saves lives

posting stats just in case people do not realize how vulnerable they are without a helmet

"the death rate per 10,000 registered unhelmeted motorcyclists is 3.38"

"an unhelmeted rider is 40 percent more likely to suffer a fatal head injury, compared with a helmeted rider"

the choice is theirs and yours

but I can tell you from experience even the most savvy rider can make a mistake or be the result of a car drivers mistake and result in death

biking without a helmet leaves very little if any room for error

you don't think it's ever going to happen to you.....

poof!
