Default Helmets

I've noticed that ATV riders are probably the worst about not wearing there helmets. I was wondering how many of you wear a helmet when you ride.

It depends on where I am going but if I am going to do any real riding then I will put one on. I rarely do when I am riding alone though.

I don't use ATVs, haven't ever been on one. But I do wear a helmet when I bike. I think that's super important-- a friend of mine flew when he was hit while riding a bike and he didn't have a helmet on. It was bad all around.

I always use a helmet because I will never know when accidents happen. I have tried riding ATV without helmets and its far better than with a helmet worn. But I always make sure that I'm safe than to be sorry in the end.

I hate to wear a helmet but I do. I do it for my mother who has asked me to wear one and not to be reckless. I keep my word but it's really hard for me.

I do wear a helmet, but it's not a full face helmet. I bought my daughter a new 4-wheeler helmet for Christmas. It's a full face one. She loves it. I can't very well tell her to wear a helmet if I don't wear one. I lead by example.

Every time I get on the wheeler, all the time. I am big into Safety- I can't imagine not wearing a helmet. I like my life and I want to stay safe. All it takes is 1 branch upside the head to turn my life upside down.
