who straps their helmet??

[Chevy Seller]

Sunday I made both my boys strap their helmets on " Dad it's so hot, do I have to wear it?

My oldest has a nice bruise on the underside of his chin when he smacked the bars in a dip, who knows how many teeth he would be missing if his helmet had not been strapped.

not strapping a helmet is no where near the same as not wearing one.......

not straping it on is like wearign a comdom and cutting the tip off.....not gunna do you any good when things start getting rough lol

I don't strap mine. You ever seen the sled movies where they crash and the helmet flies off? If it was strapped on, your head would go with it!


Seriously though, I use it like a seat belt...... all the time!

I strap mine. On the movie First Ascent ( coolest snowmobile movie ever) the guy is jumping off an drift and when he hits his helmet flies off. I think everyone should use the strap but thats just me.

I haven't seen anyone NOT strap it. But I probably wouldn't be riding with them so maybe that's why. A few weeks ago I would have been in serious trouble if I hadn't strapped mine. I would have went from a mild concussion to serious injury or worse. I was lucky.

I had this metal hook system implanted in my skull so I don't need to stinken strap. Only bummer is that when I put on my Klim cap after riding it always sits sideways, but thats how people know I'm down.

Or get a quick release clip, and be done with it.

Like he said, quick release, end of story.

i never strap mine i was thinking about doing it for the big dawg though.

I always strap mine and if I forget then I'll notice when it's smacking against my helmet.

I have friends that don't strap their helmets, probably because they don't have the quick strap thingy. It only costs like $9 and it could save your life(vs. not strapping your helmet). I don't understand why you wouldn't strap your helmet.

Excuses, it's the same thing, helmets aren't construction hard hats so do it up right.

I strap my helmet every time but sometimes i forget.

Does anyone else look at the peeps that say they don't strap the helmet up as completely missing a chromosone?

It just not..not saying its safe but it makes a big difference then not wearing anything.


When someone makes an irrational leap when backing up their argument it makes everything else seem less credable.

I saw a guy endo his $30,000 Apex in the pits at West Yellowstone. He didn't have his helmet strapped on, and it came flying off. He wasn't even going that fast, just hit a big hole and broke an A-arm.
