Helmets I’m more ambiguous on. They’re usually a good idea, but you could say the same for people walking or driving.
Yeah true but you’re not exposed to the environment going over 20mph in a car vs on a moped or motorcycle. Like if you’re riding a moped or a motorcycle, you should be wearing a helmet. You may not come out looking the same if you fall on your face but your odds of surviving without a brain injury are higher, than if you didn’t wear a helmet.
Then again, the only place on Earth where having a vending machine that’s hooked up to city water and a tank in a locked box that has a sterilizing agent and sprays helmets in a vending machine for blue bike users, would be Japan. - Someone take this idea.
Lastly: for anyone thinking what can happen if I hit my head off the pavement either from the back or front of the skull without a helmet (with MIPS are supposedly the safest),
That’s an example of what could happen. Lessening the impact to have it so that your skull isn’t bouncing off the ground, can reduce the possibilities of this happening.
