EVERYONE WEAR HELMETS. I don't give
two ****s if you think they ruin your hair. A helmet
saved my life in 1998.
I hit a tree while racing. I went off trail, hit a tree with my feet which spun me around to hit another with the back of my head. I suffered a contusion (cracked my skull), bruised my brain, and leaked brain fluid out of my left ear - doctors had to repair my ear drum with skin from my inner elbow - I still can't hear 100% today. I was unconscious for a week and lost most memory of my childhood. It took me a month to walk again. Every day in the hospital after I woke up, they'd show me the same movie because I couldn't remember it from the day before. If it wasn't for my helmet, I would not be here today.
Cliff notes: Wear goddam helmets.
