This is why you wear a helmet

No idea if this is real or not. I don't trust unless deeply verified.

:shocked: It DOES look suspicious...
(The "grind" is too even...)

But it sure COULD happen for real! :yikes:

Depends..!

When I was taken on a tour of the Bell helmet factory part of it was to the testing facility. There on the wall was a helmet just like this one mounted and autographed with many thanks. So I asked, it belonged to a race car driver (open car) that flipped and slid down the track trapped with his head on the pavement. He was so very lucky cause it was at the foam liner nothing lef. He walked away without even a headache...:lecturef_smilie:wear a good helmet....

And if you think that they're expensive... :shocked:

...Try looking into the cost of "around the clock care"; at a nursing facility! :yikes:

You got a $10.00 head put it in a $10.00 helmet. I'll go top of the line anytime.

If it is real, I would hate to see the road rash on the occupants body!:yikes::yikes:

During my time as a Critical Care Ambulance Driver, I saw quite a few helmets looking very similar to that - sadly, I also saw some a lot worse (usually cheapies) & now, 30 plus years later, I still have nightmares about those!! pps:

You got a $5 brain, stick it in a $5 bucket :yikes: - while a good quality helmet that keeps your brain off the roadway might end up looking like that after a prang, that's just the cost of it doing it's job!! And I, for one, am quite prepared to spend the $$ on a good helmet willingly!! :thumbup:

Yup. I used to work critical care. Helped out in the ER one day. Saw a guy brought in from a bike accident. No helmet.

I cant get the memory out of my head of what came out of his ears with each chest compression by the EMT. It was not blood.

Here are four sites with the same pic. All appear to be credible although none provide any solid info where the pic comes from originally.
