Too cool for helmets

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

No brakes, no helmets, too cool for school.

That Flickr link provides categorical evidence that the injuries shown were both incurred while in the act of riding a bicycle and wholly avoidable by wearing a helmet. Thank you for not jumping to conclusions.

Pounding your head on the ground like that too many times is not really good for you.
Maybe he should install some brakes.

That wouldn't have happened if he had hair. The real culprit is male baldness. We need to find a cure for baldness.

How can this guy be alive? BikeForums Collective Wisdom tells me that people who don't wear helmets suffer instant death or severe brain damage when they wreck.
