A helmet doesn't prevent any of that.
What problem are the gloves supposed to solve here?
Unfortunately, the points you make have been, and will continue to be, lost on many.
And your observation kind of links into my post in #21 above. I guess the desire was to include several hot button items in the made up story to generate as many responses as possible. But doing that usually makes things smell. Also, as in this case, they can be totally irrelevant to what allegedly happened. Again, perhaps that was to garner more responses. Maybe oversight when creating the story. Either way, to me, it makes things smell. OP needs to work on their subtlety.
