Friend of mine posted this crazy shot on facebook of a downhill mountain biker taking a fall & his helmet coming off!ShockedShocked
At least he was safe in the knowledge that by wearing a Leatt, his neck was safe!WinkSmile

Looks like he's pointing and saying "Strap shoulda been here."

He's just listening for the rumble of his competition coming over the hill to see how close they are.

Downhill bikes are deceptively dangerous...mostly because "forward thinkers" as intelligent as myself don't think to put on enough protective gear since it's just a bicycle...lol....

Well there's his problem, he's got a TLD jersey with Scott pants. The guy was doomed to fail before he even put the helmet on.

Always pisses me off when they have a TV or filmstar celebrity doing a piece to camera, sat astride a motocycle. They finish speaking, pull on their helmet & ride away. What an example for kids and idiots like this.

The Leatt's not doing a thing without a helmet there.

Guaranteed his last words were either "hey, watch this!" or "just one more run and I'm going home."
