Because you fall on your butt usually. Unless you're like, super inebriated or something. Better infrastructure would help, but better infrastructure doesn't currently exist, while helmets are cheap and can be mandated (for a time). I usually either keep my helmet on, or loop the buckles through my bike lock and just leave it by my bike. Maybe someone could make an accessory to lock it to the bike on a specialized holder or something? If mandated, such a device would probably be quite desirable. "Those who would trade a bit of liberty for a bit of security deserve neither" yeah yeah okay maybe mandates in general aren't great, but like... maybe we should ask the fire department or trauma surgeons or other kinds of first responders and see how they feel about helmets... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1887 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── @user-1091 @user-1094 I bet if you mandated helmets, kneepads, shoulderpads, hip-guards, bracers, thick gloves, leather jackets, steel-toed boots, and ear protection we could get the injury rate from crashes down below 5% ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1888 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── @user-1091 @user-1094 ... my bike helmet was like, max 15$ if you can't afford a helmet then you probably can't afford a bike. It's not like they go bad. It's ironic for Americans to suggest mandates for ANYTHING - I mean, we're supposed to be about liberty and freedom, right? xD xD ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1889 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── @user-1091 I'm sorry I didn't mean to be upsetting! I'll try and be more considerate. If everyone agrees there's never anything to talk about besides how great everyone else is, and that's boring, so... I'm sorry I thought you liked what I was saying from the stars on my comments. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1890 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── I always get a little suspicious when my machine pseudo-randomly starts running the fans super loud and when I open my resource monitor they suddenly drop to silent like... bro what are you hiding ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1891 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── @user-1091 I knowwww some people are just thorny and prickly I guess. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
