gurgle 0 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Good point. Mine has saved me from a very nasty head versus ice incident, which probably would not have been a "fatality", but a very bad one for sure. Still won't be going out without it. Link to post Share on other sites

How would you know the outcome wouldn't have been the same or better without a helmet? Link to post Share on other sites
