Riding a Motorcycle Without a Helmet: It Really Hurts

One day at lunch I spoke with a mom whose son was at the table, none too alert. Her son had crashed his motorcycle a year ago, wearing no helmet. He had spent a year in a nursing home, trying to progress to the point where he could come for rehab. His parents were rebuilding their downstairs to accommodate his disability so that he could go home with them to live.

Maybe it's true that a helmet might not make a difference. However, that's not a chance I'd prefer to take. Brain injury can be too devastating.
