Helmetless BTFO

You wear a helmet to break it.

>>1077415

Explain to me what a cracked helmet proves

>>1077415
>runs into a bear
jesus

>>1077426
proves if you didn't have a helmet the bear would have bitten off your head

>>1077426
They're designed to be destroyed upon impact

>>1077434

>>1077435
Eh, kinda. Low speed impacts they just compress, high speed impacts they shatter. Exactly as intended. But technically compressing is destroying because they don't function properly after that.

>>1077426
The helmet is cracked and his head isn't. Maybe your skull is too dense to process this?

I have a friend whose friend crashed his bike.

>Original friend wanted to keep helmet
>Know the other guy hit his helmet on the car
>Told him it's not worth it
>He tells me it's fine, just one scratch
>Grab his helmet and squeeze the sides a little and it almost completely flattens

>>1077444
>Maybe your skull is too dense to process this
In that case I am too evolved to require a helmet, therefore you are wrong

>tfw too intelligent to not wear a helmet

Would you justify someone becoming a vegetable instead of being put out of their misery?
I would rather be put out fully than be stuck as a burden.

>>1077457
i fell twice on my head the helmet has some marks on the plastic shell but the foam is not soft or compressed at all. i just keep using it.

Did you read the story?

Wearing a helmet is socially unacceptable here unless you're riding a road bike or MTB. Also quite unnecessary and not mandatory since accidents rarely happen.

>>1077426
With one you look like a fag, thus bears will attack you

>>1078196
>unless you're riding a road bike
What else would you be riding?
>MTB
Those are for DUI dirtbags, not real people who commute.

>>1078196
>Wearing a helmet is socially unacceptable
rofl
this is some prime grade funny shit man.

>>1078346
>wat are different cultures
Try sperging about helmet use in Denmark some time and we'll see what happens. You'll rightly be seen as ... a bit """excentric""".

is helmetless culture actually a thing?

>>1078438
it was 20 years ago

Helmetless adults are manchildren who haven't grown out of their ITS NOT COOL TO WEAR A HELMET SO IM NOT WEARING ONE child phase.

>>1078196
Oh no someone might snigger at me

Enjoy being a 5mph MUP casual who never goes remotely near cagers

>>1078073
That's why you have a living will.

>>1078348
I guess being normal would make you stand out in Denmark :-P

>>1078196
>road bike or MTB
There are other bikes?

So all the niggas whom say
> If I wasn't wearing a helmet during incident X, I would have died!
Did they go back and test that or are they just guessing?

>>1083993
Well you can't say 'well I should have worn a helmet' if you're dead.

Most of you can't ride faster than 12mph on a carbon di2 equipped bike

You need a helmet for that?

/o/ here

Wear your helmets you fags. Guy who wore this had to be wheeled out on our on our wheeled back board

>>1084000
Why don't you try banging your head against a piece of concrete @ 12mph and get back to us ? Also, Worst shitposting tripfag ever.

If you think wearing a helmet is necessary you should be wearing one 24/7. There's a higher chance of dying in the shower or getting hit by a cager while you walk on the sidewalk.

>>1084898
Sieg pls.

>>1084000
>12mph
more like 20 or up to 40 for short periods...
>carbon
Aluminium
>di2
Tourney
>need a helmet for that
Indeed, Aachen is dangerous.

>>1084663
it's not the speed that kills you it's the accel.

>>1077415
I don't ride in the woods so....

Also judging by that profile pic, this guy started wearing a helmet too late.

Well, might finally admit I was wrong. Tried to cross onto the sidewalk from the road and somehow misjudged the height and/or didn't turn enough because I'm not used to narrow tires. Cracked one of the bones in my face close to the right eye and the my left ulna. Will probably wear a helmet for the near future at least when I get better.

>>1086130
What bike were you on?

>>1086130

That sounds like shit luck man and looks super brutal. Glad to see you're already talking about getting back on the bike.

>>1084959
>Accel
Actually deceleration is the killer

>>1086173
Any change of velocity is still acceleration, you mongrel.
The difference between speeding up and slowing down is if the acceleration has a positive or negative value.

>>1086176
almost good, but actually acceleration always have a positive value but the force vector changes direction that's all.

>>1086143
A 2000 Bianchi Veloce that I got for $50 at a garage sale. The bike (including the carbon fork) were undamaged so I will probably sell it.
>>1086171
Yeah its weird because I didn't think I was going fast but the doctors thought it was pretty bad. The bones should heal fairly well.
