ATV's and helmet useage
I hate to even walk past a bike or ATV without a lid, but I see sssoooo many people riding quads without them. I think people think that since it don't fall over when you let go, it must be safe..... Safe enough to put thier kids on with no lid and turn them loose.
I've seen plenty of crushed helmets come off of intact heads to know rolling a quad over your melon, unprotected, is bad news. It don't seem like a great leap of logic to figure this out, but the number of bareheaded idiots out there seems to say different.
So, do you wear yours on your ATV???

Well, I seem to be aligned with 100% of the vote.....but at this point I am the only one who voted..... At my house everyone has a full round of helmets for every activity, and ever since my big concussion, they get worn. There are so many helmets here that I am going to have to dedicate a room to storage

When I die, it WONT be for a reason as stupid as not wearing a helmet. There are too many things I want to do in life before that.

well i guess ill take the risk of being the first to say i dont wear a helmet when i ride mine. Or when i test ride them at work. But then again i havent got to do any serious riding yet, other then some trails around my neighborhood. I usually stick to the woods around my house though. I do have a full face helmet for my motorcycles that i always wear when riding them. No good reason why i dont wear them on the ATV,.....just a bad habit i guess
