I have alot of people ask me why I wear my helmet even when i am not on the trails those peole need to wear a helmet all the time cause obviously if you hit your head on the pavement its gonna make you into a mental mess. Also cause I know someone that was hit by a car and they had there helmet on and they owe alot to there helmet. It was destroyed but hey 150 to replace it is nothing. So basically keep it real and where your brain bucket. Hey at least it will keep your head from exploding even if it doesn't work to stop brain damage if you want your head to look like this computer then don't wear one and go out to the freeway for a leisure ride
