OK, I have seen it all now

[SMOKEU]

I think the most dangerous part of not wearing a helmet it all the stones that will end up in your face. My visor has saved me many times before from getting stoned.

OK, I have seen it all now

Really? Ever seen a man eat his own head?

All to well for people in your work arena Sharry.

I wear a helmet - wouldn't think of going out with out one now, but you know it hasn't always been like that - and I would add that not everyone who didn't wear a helmet fell off, and not every one who fell off with out wearing a helmet hit their head on anything, funny that!

I survived.

Ditto my other half,she has dealt with kids/teens and adults within funeral industry,has told a few nasty stories of people hit on open roads,hat or no hat didn't matter much for the kids on pushbikes when hit at 80km by a truck.Pretty traumatic for family and those involved,i.e police,ambos,fireys and funeral staff.

Horace
Much to his Mum and Dad's dismay
Horace ate himself one day.
He didn't stop to say his grace,
He just sat down and ate his face.
"We can't have this his Dad declared,
"If that lad's ate, he should be shared."
But even as he spoke they saw
Horace eating more and more:
First his legs and then his thighs,
His arms, his nose, his hair, his eyes...
"Stop him someone!" Mother cried
"Those eyeballs would be better fried!"
But all too late, for they were gone,
And he had started on his dong...
"Oh! foolish child!" the father mourns
"You could have deep-fried that with prawns,
Some parsley and some tartar sauce..."
But H. was on his second course:
His liver and his lights and lung,
His ears, his neck, his chin, his tongue;
"To think I raised him from the cot
And now he's going to scoff the lot!"
His Mother cried: "What shall we do?
What's left won't even make a stew..."
And as she wept, her son was seen
To eat his head, his heart, his spleen.
And there he lay: a boy no more,
Just a stomach, on the floor...
None the less, since it was his
They ate it – that's what haggis is.

It's funny how a few years ago a helmet wasn't even compulsary and now you ride without one you're going to die.

You've got to be kidding haven't you? A few years ago? Please tell us what year it became compulsory to wear a crash helmet in NZ, back in the 'good ole days'!!!

Can't recall the year but not long ago, maybe the 70s ( the 70s is all sort if an overlapping blur to me so it could have been) . Well after I started riding anyway cos I rode for years without one , we all did. Wearing a crash helmet was a certain recipe to get a ticket, cops regarded it as proof you were racing.
