This is my Traffic Jamming lid, while it mighn't save me in a head-on, my skills will ensure I can avoid it. This will however save my face in the case of a full on bite O' s**t sandwhich that occasionally presents itself. Back in the day a lid has definately saved me as I slap the back of my head on the ramp coming in fakie and blowing it, I can't imagine I'd be the sameperson without having had helmets. There are times when you're learnin' new stuff or pushing your limits in order to progress, a helmet is simply the order of the day. To suggest they don't help save lives is simply silly. I feel weird now riding without one.
I can't even fathom motorcycle driving without one.
