Why you NEED to wear a helment

I've never understood why some people think that the less than 60 seconds it takes to, put a helmet on, latch your 5 point harness or buckle your seat belt isn't worth it............... I have been hit by a semi "97 Freighter" doing 70mph. I truly believe if not for seat belts I would not be typing this............... Safety equipment it there for a reason.
not sure what you mean by this, but i am not giving away a $150 helmet for free.
and about the school buses. if a kid is sitting down in one, the chance of them getting hurt in a normal crash is very low. now a roll over is a different story. and some buses do have seat belts. i remember getting on some that had just the lap belt. they were older too.
just the busses for preschoolers and such have seatbelts on them around here. my car has the gay automatic seatbelts in it, so i dont have to worry about the shoulder belt, its automatically there. i just put on my lap belt and am good to go. i feel like people who dont wear helmets choose not to wear them. if they can afford a bike to ride, they can afford the small cost for a helmet. its that simple. so i dont feel bad for them. hell, most places at least around here have closeout deals on helmets and sh*t for like $20 for a brand new helmet
The worst way to think is,I'm a good rider, nothing is going to happen or I'm just takeing It down the road to check it out. I don't need it.

i wear a hamburger helmet to keep from turning my brains into ground beef, lol, i luv my shift double bypass
Sheeblast I just meant that if someone needs a helmet on here and cant afford one(unlikely but yet a possibility) I will give them one of my extras.
i almost kissed my front teeth goodbye last summer because i didnt have a helmet,im going to make sure i have one this summer.took a jump and because the swingarm bearings/bushings were gone i hit the ground hard and kissed the throttle thingy.lol sore teeth for a week,thought they broke in the upper gum.never again!!
