Yeah and last Sunday's newspaperhad a story about a lady who was driving her car and a 2x4 came off the truck in front of her, through the windshield, and across her face. She's blind for life.

Just don't start pushing for the rest of us to wear full face, or anything. Please.
Dude, chill. He did not ask or tell anyone to wear a FF helmet.
He only said he was going to be wearing one himself.

I prefer wearing a Dodge 1500 Ram pickup. It offers better protection from rocks hitting me in the face, noise reduction and keeps me warm on cold riding days.

Before any complains....I removed the accident pictures that were posted. They are too graphic to be posted here.

I didn't even see your comment until I had deleted them. I received several complaints and they were far too graphic for this forum.

These posts always get people worked up, the "less gear" folks all act like the "more gear" folks are trying to force em to gear up or something, you can't share an experience or thought without getting attacked for it. If you find yourself laying in the hospital bed wondering where your skin went and how the extra knots got on your head let me know if the first thought that flashes into what's left of your melon is, "man I'm glad I wasn't wearing more protective gear." Good luck out there tough guys, I'll just keep gearing up for the crash until they start paving the roads with NERF.

My Mom used to make me wear a full face helmet. I hated getting on the bus with that thing.
