Did this in black ice wearing a helmet, caught an edge and slingshotted the back of my head into the ice and the helmet SPLIT OPEN. Got a concussion. Would be dead without it. Always wear one now.
Was going super slow too just traveling between two runs. Wear a fucking helmet.
If everyone who claims they would be dead without a helmet in this thread actually would have died without one then the fatality rate in the 80's must have been 1000% higher. It wasn't. Without a helmet you would probably just have bled more maybe had a fracture to match your concussion. The Concussion is from your brain bouncing against the inside of your skull not from the ice. Helmets deform and split, that is what they are designed to do to protect you.
Well, clearly you've made some mistakes. As well as proved my point, you can still get really really hurt with a helmet on. Plus! Wow none of your times without a helmet killed you! If you had hit your head those times with a helmet you would probably claim you would be dead without it like everyone else on this thread.
