Ironically they prove Darwin correct despite that they would probably have disagreed with him in life.

>Implying Mr. Darwin was an atheist.
Can't Sikhs make special helmets that can be worn over a turban?
can't sikhs wear foam turbans?

"But I found it more and more difficult, with free scope given to my imagination, to invent evidence which would suffice to convince me. Thus disbelief crept over me at a very slow rate, but was at last complete. The rate was so slow that I felt no distress, and have never since doubted even for a single second that my conclusion was correct." - Darwin on religious belief, from his autobiography

He was, but that's not my point. Many religious people I knew rejected the theories of evolution, natural selection, and such as heretical.
daily reminder

The exemption also applies here in HK
Living in Colorado, which never has had a helmet law, this seems like no big deal. I don't see the problem. People die quicker and provide more organs for transplants.

The Bren was adopted in 1938.
Brazilians are still using Madsens from 1902.
>>1042003
Yes, but even the Brens the Brits modified for NATO service got rid of the flip sight.
>>1041966
What the fuck is that?
>>1042087
yeah, very lightly
i cracked a rib on that fall too so who knows, maybe I would've cracked my head too
i used to be 2 cool 4 helmets
(i'm not buying a new one because of that impact though, that's dumb)
>>1042041
Upgraded to a Diopter, iirc.
I ain't mad, but I like ladder sights on rifle-caliber rifles. .303, .30-30, .45-70 just feel like they should have a ladder sight.
>>1042087
It's a really weird shape helmet though, or a really weird photo

So what's the problem
I've never worn a helmet while riding. 1997 and still going.
Why is /o/ cancer invading this board lately?
