Too much reading for me..

To sum it up, I think...

A Harley guy once explained to me why he don't wear a helmet...

"If I wear a helmet, and I crash at 70mph, and I snap my back, rip off a leg or an arm, or have to pee into a bag and have someone wipe my ass for the rest of my life, why would I WANT to wear a helmet? I would rather smach my skull and be gone"

Well, if you wear a helmet, and nothing else, the possibility of that happening is real.

At least with good chest/back/shoulder protection, a good jacket and pants, foot and hand protection, you minimize that risk to large broken bones (femur/tibia/fibia) due to the awkwardness of trying to wear armor for those portions.

I can live if I snap my leg in half and long as its still attached to my body, Ill heal in a few months. If I dont wear protection and hit the same pole/tree/fence/bench/whatever, my leg may NOT be attached to me anymore, and than, im legless.

The version for nimwits like me.

Funny that he just presumes thats the wreck he'll get into.
No chance of him accidently low-siding around a turn and smacking his head against the curb or ground at all.

That'd never happen.
Oh no. No way.

after reading all of this, I have only one thought.
Other than AWAMFHWYR - (Always wear a helmet when you ride)

At the VERY LEAST:
Jacket=good
flip-flops
Pants>shorts
