ThailandRyan Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 RIP poor woman. I wonder if she was wearing a helmet and if said helmet might have helped. I can not tell from the photo if a helmet was worn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bluesofa Posted March 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2021 I had the same thing happen to me about fifteen years ago. A motorbike behind me clipped my motorbike which knocked me off and into the next lane. A pick-up truck hit my head. I kept the helmet, which had black rubber tyre-marks on one side and white scratches on the other side, from the concrete road. Neither the motorbike nor the pick-up stopped. A witness called the police and reported me not as a casualty, but as a fatality. 1 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaiyen Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 A good quality full face helmet will easily withstand being run over by a van or car. Not so sure about how the neck would take it. In Thailand most people cannot afford a good helmet and buy rubbish for under 1000 B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Gringo Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 most of the Thais I see who don a helmet fail to fasten it which makes the helmet totally useless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 300 baht plastic helmet bought at Big C does not give you much protection, nobody here can afford a real helmet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
