Neither of us has any idea what speed they were doing when they hit the truck. So saying helmets would, or would not have helped is pure guesswork. Regardless of whether they would have helped in this case, with 14000+ motor cycle related deaths in Thailand, there are many unnecessary deaths because the person was not wearing a helmet. Not here, but in the UK I was cycling when I got hit from behind and sent over my handlebars landing on my head. Had I not had a helmet, it could easily have been a cracked skull.

The no helmet crowd will always come up with excuses to remain very, very unsafe. Many statements these days simply need to be ignored. Of course a good helmet is ALWAYS going to increase your chances of escaping injury or a serious blow to the skull. Duh!

What a thing to say. 

Disgraceful of you.

 

R.I.P. ladies. 

So sad.

This was your antagonizing comment earlier that started our interaction. 

 

Nothing disgraceful, it's the truth 

 

It's a forum, I'm allowed to speculate

Rider beware. Use as good a helmet as you can afford, and do not use these eggshells pieces of crap. They crack at the first impact, and what lies underneath them? Your skull, which is very delicate.

Thanks for posting this, I hope people pay attention.

 

Speaking of helmets can you recommend a better helmet than the 6,000 baht Shark I currently own? My Shark is made here in Thailand(I think) and while it's a decent helmet I think I need to upgrade to a much better one.

No, I'm not feeling OK now after reading your offensive, hostile comment.

 

Why don't you put your warrior keyboard away, go outside, get some fresh air and enjoy life

I am not surprised. With tunnel vision, that's obvious.

 

" I'm going to say it loud so you comprehend,"

Shouting really does not make people change their mind. Seems, many cant comprehend you and vise versa.

Are you okay @SAFETY FIRST? You seem stressed out.

My neck only comes out when I receive a hostile comment from you.

Can we stop the bickering? It is so boring, juvenile and ridiculous. Let's try to stay on point here. Send a PM if you most.

Why are you annoying me? Another guy wants to attack me. 

 

Look earlier, it was YOU who contacted me, your interaction was hostile. 

 

What is it with the narcissism on this forum? 

 

I'd like to explain something, please listen..... 

YOU AND I WOULD NEVER, EVER INTERACT IF YOU KEEP SCROLLING, UNDERSTAND.... NEVER BLOODY EVER. 

 

Now leave me alone. 😡

Many of us drive motorcycles or scooters here, and it is dangerous getting on the roads with some of these other drivers.

 

 

I wonder if most of them can afford to buy and operate a car.
