The cheap helmets do provide an excepted level of protection.
for minor accidents.
Even the latest top of the range Shark lid, won't save you in some accidents. it's a roll of the dice every day here.
had about 9125, rolls so far
I could never sit at the traffic lights in Thailand with a full face lid on. slowly melting. which is what that poster is on about, I think.
But here is the thing with hiring motor bikes, and the helmets you get given, same as if you take a motor cycle taxi.
They are rarely the correct size and the user never does the helmet up correctly. or the latch is defective.
( that will do and off they go )
Well done for getting your own. totally under stand that.
