to wear a helmet or not to wear a helmet, that is the question?

Do what you want and face the consequenses (sp?).

Looking "uncool".
Or getting injured.

I read somewhere in some magazine that if you go fast and take a crash, the helmet could possibly do some damage to your neck. But I still play it safe and wear one.

definitely good. i feel so much safer with one, i wear it all the time. i hit a tree when i was about 7 or 8, and i was going pretty fast, and if i hadn't had that helmet on, i would've had one hell of a headache. luckily i just broke my goggles.

when i was in high school and goin on the ski trips, we had to wear a helmet to go into the terrain park or they wouldn't let you go on the next trip. Thats why i started wearing one and now its just a habit

i guess you're right. but to most people who think straight and logically, it doesn't even seem like a question worth asking. like i said, better safe than sorry. it simply makes the most sense, ultimately (as in a matter of life and death), to wear a helmet, and at the expense of what? unsteeziness or slight discomfort? oh boohoo...

its so dangerous not to wear one. you won't look bad, you will just look 10 times smarter then anyone who isn't wearing one.
