It probably goes without saying that helmets are a good idea, but screw it, we're going to say it anyway: HELMETS ARE A GOOD IDEA!

Don't take our word for it though. Check out these pictures, compiled by Bored Panda, for a sobering list of reasons why you should always wear helmet. It doesn't matter how awesome a rider you think you are. It doesn't matter if helmets make your head sweat. It doesn't matter if it ruins your hair style. The only thing that matters is that it might very well save your life one day, or at the very least prevent your face from getting mangled beyond recognition. Scroll through the pictures below and imagine what your head might look like if you hadn't been wearing a helmet. Not a pretty sight, is it?

Someone correct me if im wrong, but i think this is a glassfiber helmet. Designed so that if it hits the ground it won't bounce around, but instead stay in contact with the ground/concrete and be shredded as the wearer slides a distance on the ground. Less chance of neck injury ^^

Ground skid burn. An unbelievably common injury in motor bike accidents. This also happens to your limbs!!!! The best form of protection is full thick leathers. I've nursed many motorcyclists with missing limbs due to them being shredded off whilst skidding across tarmac at speed. I cringe every time I see a young motorcyclist in shorts and T shirt!!!!!

This happened to me while riding my BICYCLE. I was not even going fast, but the impulse made me skid. My helmet had a puppy version of that. I was do glad I was wearing it.

Many helmets are designed to absorb the impacts of a crash, and also act as a physical barrier to scuffs and scrapes that would otherwise kill a person

This isn't necessarily caused by downward impact force, but instead by sliding friction. Perhaps worse as it tears the skin, and bone away... :(

    A few years ago, my friend and i went skiing. On this day, I went down before him and waited at the bottom of the slope (a blue). after around 10 or 20 minutes, a ski patrol (i think that is what they are called) came down with him in the stretcher. Apparently, he had swerved to dodge a fellow skier and swerved into woods. he tripped and slid down 20 ft or so and in the process, slammed the back of his helmet on a metal rod. He was very lucky because he hit his head on the pointy end. The helmet, a Bogner, took the brunt of the impact and splintered under the impact. Long story short, the rod could have gone through his head and killed him if not for the helmet

    My Helmet Saved My Life

    My Helmet Saved My Life

    My face and head took the greatest impact with the tree. I took a direct hit in the face which lead the doctor to proclaim that I was lucky to be wearing a full-face helmet. It didn't crack, the visor didn't break. My cheek bones weren't crushed or bruised, my spine was fine, my neck was only slightly sprained, my teeth were intact!

    Yep this looks like mine after I got hit by a truck. Took the chinguard clean off and the visor was a mess. The bike was totalled. If you value your face/head/life, buy THE BEST helmet you can afford. Incidentally, this happened to me on a public road AT LESS THAN 30mph in traffic so imagine what it would look like doing speed on an open road and meeting someone round a bend?

    Hello everyone I'm Anna from Canada, this is my testimony about the good work of a man who helped me. My life is back!! After 2 years and 3 months of marriage, my husband left me with our 2 kids. I felt like my life was about to end,and was falling apart. Thanks to a spell caster called Dr Ogun who i met online. On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet, I was searching for a good spell caster that can solve my problems. I came across series of testimonies about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and so on. There was one particular testimony I saw, it was about a woman called Christina testified about how Dr Ogun brought back her Ex lover in less than 72 hours and at the end of her testimony she drop Dr Ogun e-mail address. After reading all these,I decided to give Dr Ogun a try I contacted him via solutiontemple01@gmail

    He still had a concussion with the helmet. Imagine if he hadn't been wearing one-major brain damage or even death.

    Are these stories written by Chinese Internet-slaves? The English in some of these titles is atrocious. I realise these s****y "content farms", intended to share on Facebook to get people to come look at your ads, aren't usually the pinnacle of journalism. But still, are you paying these people in bowls of rice? Same thing happened with consumer goods when Ebay and Amazon came along. The revolution in Chinese garbage made to be exported to buyers over the Internet. Now it's happening to web sites as well. Badly written "articles", each one just a group of pictures, either harvested from a Google image search on "broken helmet", or copied from some other s****y clickbait site just like this one. Actually Thought Catalog rips three-quarters of it's "articles" off Reddit, but at least they're paying first-world "writers" to do it. I liked the Internet better 20 years ago. There was almost no crass garbage like this.
