So if he hadn't been wearing the helmet, the force that was enough to
put at helmet *through* the truck wouldn't have meant the driver having
to hose the bikers brains off the back of his trailer? If the helmet
hung him, then he was unfortunate, without it he would have been dead
sooner. On the other hand, if he'd been 6 inches to his left, he may
have just "banged his head".



At 125 mph, a helmet never saved anyone. It's one of Darwin's laws...(c;



I believe it. I dumped my old KZ350 when I came around a corner and realized
the road had washed out. Put the bike down and let it go. I didn't realize
it in the moment, but my helmet was apparently bouncing on the pavement
until I stopped sliding. It was crushed side-to-side, and it took two people
to get it off my head. I was only doing about 45. I also had road-rash from
my ankle to my shoulder.
