[aksss]

Not to jinx myself but I’ve been in more mountain bike wrecks than I can count - stitches to the face and elsewhere, scars a plenty, and have never once hit the brainy portion of my head (small target, I know ;). I think it’s mostly owing to technique.

That said, a childhood friend of mine who became a sponsored snowboarder suffered a severe head injury while shooting an ad, and is still mentally and physically disabled from it (wheelchair bound to this day).

All to say, I’m well aware of the risks and have a list of anecdotes to support any direction you want to take them, but none of it has made me a fan of helmet laws for adults.
