Protective Gear

[Troppo]

Most of you miss the point of the original post.

It is summed up in this paragraph:


Once you understand that, then by all means put your gear on and go for a ride. But keep in your mind at all times, it's not the helmet that will save your life, it's what's inside it that will. It's not your gloves that will save your life, it's what's inside them that will. Use what's inside your armor and you wont need your armor.

Simply spouting that wearing protective gear makes someone safer is and always will be bullshit.
