the doctor said that i need a bike helmet .

do you agree with the doctor?

Answer 1

I'm assuming you mean bicycle? I don't agree with anyone that says you have to wear a dorky looking helmet to ride a bicycle! People look ridiculous wearing that little tear drop shaped looking thing. UGH! I'll take my chances not wearing one thank you very much!

Answer 2

You are lucky

but just the same

if you go out on the bike

make sure you wear a helmet

because if you get in a serious accident

like this one and there is no helmet

you could fatal head injury

Answer 3

yes  they have been proven  to save lives

Answer 4

Yes, because the next bike wreck might be worse.  You need to get helmet before your next wreck.  You should have gotten one before this wreck.

Answer 5

Whlie I agree with Bungee, in todays world there are more people, more wreckless ones too. Yes, wear the helmet! Head injuries are not a good time. Prevention is the key here.

Answer 6

Yes you do need a helmet and yes I agree with the doctor because any head injury could be life changing, better safe than sorry.....

Answer 7

doesn't it make you wonder how all us old gray hairs got throuh childhood without helmets, shin guards,elbo pads, safety glasses,steel toe shoes, sun block,cell phones, high school guards, fun police on every corner, mommy watching every move, falling down and actually skinning our knees. I could go on but you get the picture. todays young will never realize what they missed as a child.

Answer 8

If you ride any kind of a bike, motor or pedal you need a helmet. You were lucky this time.

Answer 9

I guess you haven't had a serious brain injury. I haven't ether but two of my step-sons have in one year. One is now recovering quite well (only been 2 years) and the other is permanently damaged (can't think properly, can't remember much etc.) Do you want to be like that?
