Default Helmet

You could be the trendsetter on this one. If you have a roll bar you should have a helmet on! Even a padded rollbar is not enough. It is amazing how much the body moves around on impact. In the head versus roll bar battle, the roll bar always wins! Do I drive around with a helmet on, heck no. Don't have a roll bar either

Just me and my four wheel motorcycle. We have to remember these where designed when seat belts where often optional equipement and a child protection seat was a baby blanket wrapped around junior as he lay on the front seat, a bench one at that. The inherent danger of these cars is part of the appeal is it not? Doesn't mean we couldn't make one safe, but what would it look like

Sorry Pete, off on a tangent!

No peice of safety equipement is better than the one between the ears.
