someone like yourself chose to wear a helmet!!!a girlfiend who works as a nurse there tells me horror stories of head injurys a lot from tourists who think its uncool to wear one.Especially around schoolies week when no shirt no helmet seems to be the normal thing to do (how dumb).Hate to tell this story but hope it makes someone take notice a good friend of mine riding on back of bike slammed into a truck they wernt even going fast on the bike she was catapulted into the truck died from severe head injuries.Couple years ago a daughter of a famous band member here in aus came off back of bike also died of head injuries if she had had a helmet her survival rate would have been higher.So like to hear good stories about people who take into account that helmets may save your life, even though in bali they are told by people who rent bikes oh you dont need helmet? if it may save your life why not?????
