Protection For Your Head

While riders #1 and #2 wax on and on about the mysteries of life that can probably never be known, I will fill your mind with the known. There are facts of life that are so obvious that most people have either forgotten, or have heard it so often they forget that it is still relevant to their lives.

Let us take, for example, wearing a helmet. Ever been walking along only to run into a pole. You are not alone, and even better--there is a solution. The knowledge that man's skull is vulnerable has been known for centuries, yet is undermined by current cliche phrases, such as: "Bonehead," "Numbskull," "Blockhead," and "Can we get anything through that thick skull of yours?" The facts are not debated; in fact, to preserve lives helmets are REQUIRED in many dangerous sports, combat, and various other activities. The question is not "Should people wear helmets?" But rather, "Why in the world would organizations have to REQUIRE people to wear a helmet when death lerks suripticiously around every corner, in every second of the activity, and even on the sidelines?"

I will tell you why. Most rules come from the same place; someone has tried it, and that someone died doing it. Which means that someone has tried to fence without a helmet, and had a foil shoved through his eye. It means that someone tried to whitewater raft without a helmet, and dashed their brains out on a rock when they were thrown from the raft. It means that for almost every dangerous sport some fat-boy has decided that his brain isn't worth protecting; the only thing that could prevent him from being kept alive. Humanity has machines to replicate all other body functions, but the brain we have yet to replace. So, if you are out riding your four-wheeler and you shatter your arm, no big deal--painful, but repairable. Without your helemt that shattered bone could easily have been your head.

Because you never know when calamity might strike, helmets are a great accessory to any outfit, for any occasion. Convieniently for me (since I only have one outfit) mine always matches what I wear.Helmets are time proven, and guarenteed to increase your odds with death. Wear a helmet; cheat death. WEAR IT!
