I'll bet you **** with a helmet and heart rate monitor. Probably a good

You need a helmet if you're going to **** with your head in the sand.

Like, does the name Casartelli ring a bell?


He actually hit more of his face than his upper head but I agree...

Helmets-don't hurt, may help. What's so diffuclt to understand?

On the flip side, the recent death of a helmeted racer here in
Portland, Or. shows that a helmet is not a free pass to
immortality. http://tinyurl.com/7pefv I raced that course for
years without so much as a close call. The finish is so wide and
the set-up is so long that there is rarely a mishap. This poor
guy just got in the wrong place and bit it going full blast with
a helmet on. -- Jay Beattie.

Why you think something that increases the lever arm won't hurt in
torsional impacts.

As is stupidity.


And not much you can do about it either. If you catch it, you got it.

Given the gentle response above, one might assume that it is too late
for you to get much benefit from a helmet g.


I was just trying to fast forward the thread to it's inevitable
conclusion.

I just read an article about a graduate student at MIT that proposed an
"experiment" to explore the possibility of time travel. He sent out
invitations for a "time travel convention" at 10pm on a particular
night, built a platform, rigged up some lights, hired a DJ and had a
party on the campus quad. At 10pm they hoped something would happen:

Too bad it was on his head instead of his knee, since at least one of
the reports seems to say that the knee is what caused him to bail out.
