Helmet comment: Schuberth C3 Pro is most comfortable, high quality helmet I have ever owned. I bought it during a Christmas sale on RevZilla for $329 2.5 years ago. Complaints are that it is not a perfect fit for my head, and the visor won't stay open over 50 mph in windy conditions (unless going with the wind).

Organ Donor comment: It is common in emergency rooms, I have heard. I think my GP even mentioned that. This comment does get to me, until I think of a guy I know who slipped and fell taking a pee at 3am, is paralyzed from the neck down after hitting his head on the vanity the wrong way. I am going to enjoy the things I love to do, despite the risk...and the risk is what makes it enjoyable! Now, we all owe it to ourselves to mitigate the risk by lighting up our bikes like Christmas trees, wearing the appropriate level of gear, practicing, taking ARCs, etc. However, I am NOT gonna sit around in fear, only to fall in the tub and become paralyzed.
