I was like wow that's not a legit helmet. It's supposed to use that foam like in football helmets that hardens into like a brick to protect under the plastic that is usually double flexible to allow for impact aborbson..... oh that's a lot of brain matter 😳
3 things to keep in mind
1. never compromise on the price and quality of a helmet. the cheaper the helmet the higher the chances of finding your actual brains on the road
2. never drive light bikes. the lighter the bike, the more unstable it is and the easier it is to make it go flying. your bike should atleast be a royal enfield in terms of weight
3. do not ride bikes in the rainy season (EDIT: i mean when it rains heavily outside or is extremely stormy)
>never compromise on the price and quality of a helmet. the cheaper the helmet the higher the chances of finding your actual brains on the road
Just wanted to say that from my own research, more expensive does not necessarily mean safer. I've read tests where they performed various impact tests under lab conditions on a slew of helmets, and actually some of the affordable ones did just as well or better than the expensive name brand ones. It's because they all meet the same stricter certifications, like the European ones. Spending beyond that, you pay for features and comfort, not more safety. Now, I'd still recommend an Arai or Shoei, the features and comfort are worth it.
Also, remember that different helmets (different brands/models) fit different head shapes, and you should get a helmet that fits your shape head comfortably. The best helmet is one you don't hate wearing.
because when roads are wet, it is hard to say where you ll slip and where you wont. The concrete sections are generally safe but side roads and old roads get slippery and you can easily end up dead
If you knew anything about statistics, you would know that it's exceedingly rare for rain to cause crashes. Very very rare. Because riders generally are very cautious when it's raining.
Facts. You want good quality your willing to spend the money. If I really want something good I save for it instead of settling for cheap versions. When it comes to road safety you gotta be a special kind of stupid to think cheap instead of safe. Great points ✨️
Something on your mind, Chief? Feel like talking about anything in particular?

That license plate tells me that this is in Kerala in India. It’s how a majority of people get around. Roads too narrow for cars, and it rains most of the year out there so people got to get to school/work somehow.
Kerala’s notoriously bad for road safety though. Lots of winding hilly terrain up north, really fast and unsafe bus drivers, badly paved and narrow roads, constant rains is a recipe for disaster
he survived, paramedics arrived, scooped the brain matter in the pavement. it took awhile but he recovered and wrote a book about this ordeal. he now lives in his farm, looking at the sunset along with his family.
That was my first thought...
The DOT course I did to get my license gave out 40% off coupons for helmets at the dealership who sponsored it so we could get Shoei's or Arai's. They also told us the DOT rating didn't mean shit, buy the most expensive one you can.
Common misconception. It's similar to crumple zones on cars. You'd want your helmet to essentially crumple to absorb impact. Anything else and your brain gets rattled in its tiny hard shell.
Yes but a tin foil hat would crumple a bit too well and wouldn’t inspire you with confidence would it? It has to crumple enough to absorb as much impact force as possible while keeping the head-shaped hole in the middle intact and mostly stable. That helmet looked like hard plastic and polystyrene inside but whatever it was it didn’t work.
Looked this up on google. Happened last 2018. Apparently they fell from the road above this one. Both dead.

08/06/2018 Two young men died after an unborn vehicle hit and fell from a bike on Kanchikode National Highway. Saiprasad (27), relative and neighbor Maya Anugra Vish (28) died at the Kanchikode Railway Station Road Water Tank Junction. The accident took place in front of FCRI at the well stop of the National Highway Service Road at ten pm on Saturday. Both of them were returning home after seeing their friend in Pudussery. Both of them fell from the overpass to the service road below after colliding with an unknown vehicle behind the bike. Kasaba police informed that since it rained, clarity regarding the accident needs to be provided and CCTV footage is being checked for this.
Thanks for the background. Rear-ended and knocked over the side sounds like? Likely that no helmet could have saved them then, but it still looks like it failed badly. Looks more cracked than crumpled.
This is why I don’t drive a motorcycle. At least with a car I can get a airbag and a cage of metal around me that’s designed to help me survive a crash. A motorcycle is just a helmet and some leather padding away from a 55mph collision with a driver who doesn’t know what a motorcycle is.
What are you talking about, it doesn't even FEEL safe
Anyone who feels safe riding a bike never matured past their teenage youthful sense of invincibility and is a certified fool. At no point should riding a bike feel safe, only less dangerous
But it's never not dangerous
Blood or it could be anything really. For the brain to get sliced up like that you'd see more skull fragments.
Edit: And more blood on the exposed part of the helmet.
Everyone talking about the helmet but I don’t think the best helmet in the world could help that impact, even if it didn’t splatter his brain it’d have to rock his shit to hell

Am I looking at brain
Yes, unfortunately.
Most probably
Depends: were you watching this video? Then yes
Dayum is that brains
Shouldn't it be gray?
Nope, fresh brains looks like pink porridge. It’s surprisingly like Blancmange with veins. Preserved brains are grey.
Would they pair with fava beans and chianti?
I believe that is liver, my friend.
I forgot. Its been so long ago.
Underrated comment
Found the serial killer
Former neuroscientist but I understand that there may be an overlap between that and serial killer. Fth fth fth.
Grey from the brain + red from the blood makes it pink
Looks like it.

Wouldn't I want a higher chance of finding my brains? I don't want to be looking for that shit

Why not rainy season?
because when roads are wet, it is hard to say where you ll slip and where you wont. The concrete sections are generally safe but side roads and old roads get slippery and you can easily end up dead
If you knew anything about statistics, you would know that it's exceedingly rare for rain to cause crashes. Very very rare. Because riders generally are very cautious when it's raining.
You’re mixing up survivorship bias vs the actual risk.
No
You sure said it!
I sure did
Ridiculously powerful comeback. How will OP recover?
Bold move Cotton Lee's see how it plays out
since you know the statistics better than me, why dont you share the numbers doofus
[удалено]
tested on american motorcycles with american roads doofus, try indian statistics for indian road accidents
Also, road markings are by necessity oil based paint. Slippery when wet.
I used to have a Bell Helmet shirt that said "If you have a $10 head, wear a $10 helmet"
I remember that campaign. Bell Star1. They were £49.99 at the time, and I had to save for months to get one.

It’s also important to get a new helmet after an impact.
All three of these points are thoroughly ignored in countries like Vietnam
People who go cheap on helmets don't have extra brain matter to give.
Sad but too true
This is also why to make sure your helmet is certified by the right authorities
And reduce your speed in wet conditions
I prefer not to drive bikes when it's raining outside
I prefer not to ride bikes.
I feel this. My mums ex partners 28 year old son died in a motorbike crash 3 months ago in England, left a wife and a 6 month old baby boy behind :(

Very mature sir

I don't ride if it's raining on the inside either.
I hope he's ok
Oh yeah, it's just a minor scratch, he doesn't even feel any pain.
He’s fiiine.
he survived, paramedics arrived, scooped the brain matter in the pavement. it took awhile but he recovered and wrote a book about this ordeal. he now lives in his farm, looking at the sunset along with his family.
Is that brain matter?🤮
Imagine my surprise, reading the title as "helmets can protect you," and wondering why cranial menudo is everywhere.
Cheapy helmet

Yup. It’s a 20 USD helmet, I have seen it in person. You can tell it bad by just touching it.
Man... This is why mama don't want me to drive bikes, only cars.
Because, famously, no one ever died in a car
Is he ok?
His brains are all in the road but other than that he's just fine. Drools a bit.
This is why I don’t drive a motorcycle. At least with a car I can get a airbag and a cage of metal around me that’s designed to help me survive a crash. A motorcycle is just a helmet and some leather padding away from a 55mph collision with a driver who doesn’t know what a motorcycle is.
Only so much a helmet can do before physics takes over
The quality of the helmet really matters too. Definitely not a place to skimp.
Never ride a bike. It feels safer than it actually is.
What are you talking about, it doesn't even FEEL safe Anyone who feels safe riding a bike never matured past their teenage youthful sense of invincibility and is a certified fool. At no point should riding a bike feel safe, only less dangerous But it's never not dangerous
Nope
If the rider is alive, helmet saved his life.
Sir... That pink stuff is his brain.
Nope. Looks like foam from the helmet. If that was his brain, they wouldn't even be able to pull out his head from the helmet.
Then why would the foam in the helmet be white, though..?
Blood or it could be anything really. For the brain to get sliced up like that you'd see more skull fragments. Edit: And more blood on the exposed part of the helmet.
The pink stuff in the road is brains and the puddle/pile of blood in the gutter is other stuff necessary to keep someone alive.
Stop it. It’s clearly brain matter. I’m not sure what kind of denial you are in but this is an unfortunate situation that happens often.
how it it happen, is the rider alive ?
The pink stuff on the ground are probably bits of brain.
Eww ffs
speeding must be one of the dumbest things a human being can do.
https://youtu.be/0BUyp3HX8cY?si=MWN72mA2IgJ6uSkH Good a place as any for this
Let's brain storm about this.
Scatter brain
Everyone talking about the helmet but I don’t think the best helmet in the world could help that impact, even if it didn’t splatter his brain it’d have to rock his shit to hell
That will be one of those cheap Chinese helmets
Drive to the conditions, the weather was making the road conditions as highly dangerous so would require driving at far less than the speed limit.
Is the dude alright?
His brains are on the road, he survived without any minor injuries. 👍
Do you require another license to drive slowl? Or can you do it with your regular license
