Should Beyonce wear a safety helmet in LOS? Is she a Role Model?

[redandyellow]

.

1. Do you think Beyonce, and erstwhile Sidekick JZ knew, or even cared, that Thailand is the #1 most dangerous country in the world for motorcycles? ***

***In May 2012, the British newspaper "The Guardian" published a story that ranked Thailand the number one most dangerous country in the world for motorcycle casualties and fatalities, per 100,000 population.

2. Why didn't they bother wearing safety head gear in Thailand... Are they too cool? They were in Phuket, not Chiang Rai..

No one expects her sidekick to wear one..but the world-famous, superstar role singer?

Is she a role model? Should she be?

I mean, getting killed in Thailand could put a dent in her career, and her friendship with Mrs. Obama's husband..

The other theory is... they learned Thai culture darned quick

[slipperylobster]

She can afford the 200 baht fine...

[neverdie]

Who is she ?

[redandyellow]

She can afford the 200 baht fine...

But could Thailand afford more tarnish on its tourism, if she'd been killed, riding without a helmet in Phuket?

My bpen rai?

I think it would go viral, and make big face-loss, on the front page of virtually every paper in the world.. I can see the Headlines..

Maybe Thailand could become the hub of no-talent celebrities killed. I could nominate a few.

[garrya]

They just paid respect to culture. For the Thai eyes, they did nothing wrong.

Beyonce (totally pissed) Killed in Thailand...sounds more interesting...

[redandyellow]

That wasn't the intent of the post - if you or I, or any TV member dies in Thailand, no one gives a s---- A big celebrity victim may tip the scales, it would go VIRAL worldwide - on the abysmal safety on Thai roadways..

Thai authorities would be forced to act..

Remember, the Koh Tao murders were not Viral - most people are still ignorant of dangers for tourists in Thailand

Beyonce goes on that list - that surprises me, it shouldn't though..

[HeijoshinCool]

If they had gotten in an accident, and suffered severe head trauma, how would their lawyers prove the accident was the cause of brain death?

This thread is beyond odd, are you still drunk?

[A1Str8]

She's not a role model and she shouldn't wear a helmet. Nobody should wear a helmet. People who don't want to die, wear a helmet. People who have total disregard for their own life, don't wear a helmet.

It's a US thing, think Anglia Jolie and Brad Pitt did the same up in Cambodia 2-3 years ago. US helmet laws are almost like the US gun laws, your choice, giving you freedom, never mind all the dead.

Now Neverdie, you know them right?

I'd argue that anyone with a total disregard for their life buy large bikes and go well over the speed limit - suicide in this country. Going at 20 km/h on a Honda wave is ok with no helmet. As much chance getting killed on a bicycle.

Who is she ?

Going from the picture, a black bird with a big ass. Nothing different from the others then.

Yeah, although it looked in the picture like she had a Honda Click caught in her crack.

[krisb]

But she's not dead.

No point in a what if thread.

Bet she doesn't wear seatbelts in limousines either.

That is the most intelligent sentence I have read about wearing or not a helmet

...so yes I wear a helmet 100% of the time even thought ''it is no so cool''

Each State has its own laws.

Mine says that everyone under 18 (and everyone with a novice license which lasts for the first year) must wear a helmet and eye protection. Other than that you're on your own to decide what is good.

Of course my State also has organ donor "endorsement" available for the licenses, so it's not all bad.

[Beardog]

Ahh you know how vain Chicks can be. not sure what is worse riding side saddle or no helmet. That said I often don't wear a helmet around the Moo Ban here. But I don't care to have to be a role model in this country for anything!

[JonnyF]

I don't see an issue here. In the interests of natural selection I would advise anyone who uses Beyonce as their role model to NOT wear a helmet during any dangerous activity.

It already is. Don't you ever watch Thai TV or films? Worse still, have you heard homogenous recycled Thai 'pop' songs or see those hideous 'talent' shows on TV?

BTW, Bohemian Rhapsody is 40 years old this year.

The Law is The Law.

So sad that this woman and her boyfriend, hanger-on or whatever choose to flout it.

Can't understand why so many foreigners come here and decide to ride a motor-bike in one of the most dangerous places in the world to do so and then decide to risk having their heads smashed by not wearing a helmet.

Very RUDE people with an obvious lack of decent breeding.

But what comes out that big a$$?

I think it's JZ that has the crack problem...
