I split a helmet in half once while snowboarding. Went off a jump, landed fine, then caught my heel edge with a ton of speed and it whipped me onto my back and head.

I got up a bit dazed and my friend comes over to check on me and is like holy shit your helmet is cracked in half. The only thing hold it together was the plastic outer cover.

That helmet saved me from major injury or death that day. I can't understand why anyone nowadays rides anything without at least a helmet.

It's cool to be unsafe. You forgo your life to gain rep, duh. Like a G.

Yep, I'd been told that years before the first time I was fitted for one.

I was riding my bike to work one day and slid on some wet leaves. The bike went completely sideways. My head wanged the pavement hard enough to crack my helmet.

It would've been so much worse if I had not worn my helmet.
