Helmets

Ok , I'm not on a safety wagon , but with Glen's and Bella's wreck and this recent Vid of the Rhino roll it has just got me thinking about HELMENTS . I know that the law does not see it as a need in a UTV but , the one time in all the years that I took my helment off I rolled the RZR at a slow speed and luckly just got a big ole goose egg on my head , My first thought was why did I take it off ..... It is your choice , but I like you guys enough to want to see you each spring and fall , So , please take the time to wear one , plus some of you guys are really packing on the chicken wings and Pizza and I'm not sure we can pull you out the woods......

I guilty of not wearing one myself...Good post!!

Ya'll fat people need to loose some dang weight...try push ups...jumping jacks...sit ups...hell just quit eating so dang much. KNOW WHEN TO SAY WHEN!!!! That's what I do...THAT'S THE TRUTH!!

See RayRay thats how you need to be!!! Think about someone besides yourself sometimes!!!!!

It just seems smart , good wings are gonna cost ya 50 cents each , So cut back on about 200 wings and you got yourself a nice new helment , Ray Ray that just 2 meals Dude , switch to a healthier choice , deep fried zukini , Deep fried mushrooms and graze on them celery and ranch dressing .... Seriously , Not bashing anyone's choice to not wear one , was just on my mind ......

Good Post punder man!! I am with ya! I hardly never wear mine but all this has me thinking. I always wear mine when I rode my atv. These side by sides give me a sence of security so I quit wearing my helmet.
I may start wearing mine again.

You are right Punder! We all should be wearing helmets!!

I'm down with that -- we all should be wearing one. Including myself.

Sometimes I wear my helmet, sometimes I don't. One thing is for sure, I don't feel safe at all without my seatbelt.

I wear a helmet, 5-point and goggles along with an window net. I need a 5 minute warning before we leave from break.

I wear a helmet in the winter to help keep my head warm...but I should wear one all the time....I need to start wearing my harnesses too....you don't have to be going fast to get hurt.....

Just remember

I use to wear mine all the time but just got out of the habit but need to start back

When I started riding dirt bikes at 8 years old my parents made me wear a helmet. Probably saved my life, or at least prevented a nasty concussion, on at least one occasion I can remember. First 3 years out of school I lived in San Francisco (I know what you may be thinking - let me just say young, single, straight dudes in SF in the early 1980's were in HIGH demand by the ladies--- but I digress). I didn't have a car - rode a street bike instead. I had to lay it over twice to avoid even less desirable outcomes and was sure glad I had a helmet on. Wouldn't have wanted those helmet scrapes on my actual head. Now I don't ride any motorcycle, ATV, or side-by-side without one. If it saves your life once, it's worth it.

you could also wear a shorty helmet, like on a street bike. can drink and smoke without removing it and thier light and not so hot. you just dont have the side of your face protected like in a full face. But will still protect your Brains.......That is if your equiped with one.

I've always wore my helmet hot or cold don't matter. I also want to set a good example for the kids that ride........I mean how many times have we heard about a kid wrecking a 4 wheeler & not having a helmet on with the results way to many times having serious head injuries or even worse with some being fatal !

Since I'm riding in a cage (such as it made be) with a five point, I use a Giro Sentry snowboarder's helmet. Light weight, goggle ready with built-in speakers. Not full face which is why I have the net after getting smacked across he face with ab big branch.

Right -- you guys can't believe it. But, ya see, that was the beauty of it. It WAS almost unbelievable. So few guys were (are) straight in San Francisco that once a girl figured out you actually were straight, SHE would come on to YOU. Very rarely happened to me anywhere else, but happened all the time in SF. The law of supply and demand working in GGM's favor!!

I am guilty of not wearing my helmet (not a full face just the skullcap type) and not wearing my harnesses. At the very least I will be wearing my harnesses all the time now even though they are uncomfortable.

So it sounds like for men that can't get a woman where they live now may need to move to SF

I did manage to nab just one after I moved away from SF. Realizing my undeserved good luck, I married her!
