I saw lots of Thai's wearing their dusty helmets during the rain storm we had yesterday. Sadly, it seems the only time they wear.

She reportedly suddenly swerved and collided with two other motorcycles. The impact threw the deceased several meters down the road, causing her helmet to shatter. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call it a helmet, it's poor English, they offer no protection. You couldn't ride a bicycle in Australia, it's illegal to use those plastic hats.

Korat Kiwi Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I've never liked those pudding bowl style helmets. Only slightly better than nothing. I always don a full face helmet, no matter how damn hot it is. Best safe than sorry. Most proper bikers know this and buy the best they can afford. Learnt this back in NZ as the roads there are a coarse chip seal. It's like sandpaper should you slide on it. Roads here aren't so bad being predominantly concrete. But that too has its problems ie sand, grit, oil even water can become a big hazard. Condolences to the parents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAFETY FIRST Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) 17 minutes ago, Bangkok Barry said: Read the link. Read my comment, 2 above. What is the meaning of helmet? hel·met ˈhel-mət. 1. : a covering or enclosing headpiece of armor. 2. : any of various protective head coverings usually made of a hard material. Not English calling that plastic hat a helmet. Edited March 21 by SAFETY FIRST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
