Video: Why I wear a full-face

[Romeo]

Faceplant at 40kph+ with an open-face helmet. Exactly the reason why I wear a full face.

Why his scooter snapped in half I'll never know.<!-- Actually, I do know. He pops a "lift the slack out of the fork"-ie and it snaps at the neck, burn -->

Yeah, I don't really care about your freedom to wear an openface. Do what you want but don't expect me to pay for your facial reconstruction.

And I drive a solid car - so don't expect ME to pay for your metal pins, hand reconstruction etc.

It's all a matter of risk assesment, accepting consequences etc...

Does the bike snap in half?!?!?!!

You already have.

You all already have.

Thank you.

(I still can't bend my left thumb in the middle, but oddly enough, I've discovered that I don't really need to.)

Yep, there's a local guy just like that - face-planted the gravel road.

Drools when he drinks and his eyes ain't level.

But where do you draw the line when it comes to safety - body armour, full face, air-bag jacket, flouro vests, ABS etc etc - where will it end?


And a thought: ALL the motor-bike fatals I went to involved people wearing full-faced helmets....maybe THEY are dangerous??
