Default Jay Leno on Helmets

Interesting and educational video by Jay Leno on the proper fitting and use of helmets.

Great accident footage of a guy surviving a crash. With as many times as the guys head violently slams into the ground it's amazing he survived.

Must be nice to have that kind of money where you can have a garage full of bikes. I'd like to have at least 3.

Should of had an HD out in front though. Probably used the Suzi because the helmet matched it.

Common sense really. I thought everyone knew the helmet wasn't supposed to be loose, but snug.

I remember watching that crash at Mugello live. Frightening indeed. I wonder how many anti helmet twits would argue wearing no helmet would have been better for either of the riders from that video.
