Most of us know that riding fast without earplugs makes you deaf. Scientific evidence shows that 40 percent of professional riders, such as police, paramedics, instructors and racers, have damaged their hearing. It’s also likely that the sustained wind roar ins...

In this Daily Mail article, Robert Frank uses economics to explain the situations you encounter in everyday life. For example -- Why do women endure uncomfortable high heels? High heels are uncomfortable and make walking more difficult. But they also increase height, as well as forcing the back to arch, pushing the bosom forward and the buttocks back, thereby accentuating the female form -- and men, apparently, prefer an exaggerated female figure. Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets? In 1944, the Japanese military launched a campaign of kamikaze attacks, in which pilots attempted to crash explosives-laden planes into American warships. Why did these pilots wear helmets for a suicide mission? Planes often experienced severe turbulence before reaching their targets, so they needed to pr

Mountain bike helmets vary in shape and size and it is important to choose one which is right for you. You should be aware of just how important helmets are when it comes to mountain biking. However some people just do not seem to take any notice of the safety warning that come with wearing a helmet.

So the best thing to do is to find a good, reliable helmet which will protect the head in the event of a fall. However, not all helmets are the same and so it will take a bit of shopping around to find the right one for you. What Are the Best Helmets? When it com

Don’t let this happen to you!!! Poorly constructed thought screen helmets like the ones above are of little protection against the evil alien race abducting citizens and then controlling their minds.

The first motorcycle was invented by Gottlieb Daimler in 1885. I am not sure what the maximum speed capacity of those first motorcycles was but today in our busy society the speed means a lot. Probably no one even imagined about motorcycle helmets back then with speed not being an issue and the roads not being filled with millions of motor vehicles. But the speed is an issue today and so are the motorcycle helmets. The first motorcycle helmet was invented by Prof. Charles F. Lombard who developed a unique energy absorbing helmet for the United States Air Force. So, the first motorcycle helmet was not designed as a motorcycle helmet but it was rather designed for aviation. Dr. Lombard patented his unique invention which was applied not only to aviation but also automobile racing, motorcycles, hockey, etc… (more…)

For many riders, motorcycle helmets do not fit into their dream accessory. They feel helmets are restrictive and unnecessary and do not add to their aesthetic appeal. But it is important to know why you need to wear a helmet while riding a bike and what it does for you. Motorcycle helmets act as a protection device for your head. Nearly all motor crashes in which riders do not wear helmets, result in major head injuries. To drive this point further, according to a survey done in the state of California, in 900 crashes, there were 980 head and neck injuries. The major factor was that most riders were not wearing proper headgear. Canada has made it a mandatory rule for motorbike riders to wear helmets after seeing the way people die in these accidents. But in the USA, in some states, it still remains a choice for the rider – so it is for you to decide what is more precious to you. Hopefully, now that you are convinced about purchasing a helmet, let us see some of the things that you sh

Another look back to the history, helmets of race drivers in 2005. There are few drivers that only participated in 1 race - Wurz, de la Rosa (standing in for injured Montoya), Davidson (standing in for sick Sato), Zonta (standing in for crash shaken Ralf Schumacher). Davidson's only race lasted all 2 laps (engine). Zonta's was even better, he only managed the warm up lap before parking the car in the garage at the Indy farce GP... Here are the helmets.Renault (Alonso, Fisichella) McLaren (Raikkonen, Montoya, Wurz, de la Rosa) Ferrari (Michael Schumacher, Barrichello) BAR Honda (Button, Sato, Davidson) BMW Williams (Heidfeld, Webber, Pizzonia) Toyota (Trulli, Ralf Schumacher, Zonta) Red Bull (Coulthard, Klien, Liuzzi) Sauber (Massa, Villeneuve) Jordan (Monteiro, Karthikeyan) Minardi (Friesacher, Albers, Doornbos)

Let's be honest here... Princessa + Football = WTH? In short, we just don't go hand in hand. Sad, but true - "Me no like football ah". I'm just not a football kinda person. I do not understand and I am not willing to understand the game at all. However, the so-called "new hi-tech football helmet" does trigger some curiosity in me. So yes, at this point of time, I really have no idea, whatsoever, does this "thing" do. /me starts reading the supposingly official website for more information. Continue reading...

Road accidents are the leading cause of deaths worldwide. Accident rate is rising rapidly in the world just due to the increase in the number of vehicles. Head injuries in motorcycle accidents are one of the major cause of death or serious injuries. Riders who are not intersted in wearing helmets are more likely to suffer from fatal head injuries as compared to those who wear helmets. Thus, helmets have become a necessary part of daily life. Under such circumstances here comes a brand & identity in producing good quality helmets - Nolan Helmets. Nolan began the production of Motorcycle helmets in the early 1970’s; Nolan started using sophisticated materials to raise the performance high to motorcycle riders at a competitive price. Throughout the 30 years since Nolan’s first produced helmet, it didn’t stopped using innovative technology to widen its range of products. Nolan Helmets has overtaken more than 50% of the market and manufactures. Nolan always wants to

It would seem as though these helmets from Tanizawa of Japan are pre-cursors to those full-faced helmets worn by Clone Troopers before the Empire was formed. A couple of versions were paraded at the Japan Wireless Show, where 'A' came with a W-CDMA (FOMA) card, an integrated telephone, GPS navigation, a RFID chip, and a camera that displays real-time audio and video information. As for the 'B' mode, it boasts a vibrating system, an integrated walkie-talkie, solar panels, and simple visualization via a LED display. Sounds as though these would find a place on the battlefield. You know how hard it is communicating with someone else in the midst of battle - just take a look at how Captain Lennox fared in Transformers as he tried to call the Pentagon while battling Scorponok.(Via UberGizmo, the Gadgets News Blog.)

I live in the Yukon where some guy who rides his bike all year round — like, through the frozen streets of winter — convinced city council that for my own safety I must wear a helmet while I sashay a bike path along the Yukon River. There is a $25 fine (I think) if I don’t. Talk about boiling blood. I understand why we’re forced to wear car seat belts: the state doesn’t give a shit if we live or die, they just don’t want us to linger between life and death in some highly expensive vegetative state. Got it. But where do you draw the bleeding line? I was nattering about this to a visitor from the UK the other day telling her that in some jurisdictions kids are forced to wear helmets … while playing soccer! Seeing her shock I, quite naturally, pushed the point: I’ve even seen swimmers at our pool wearing helmets while practicing their turns. Really? Well, no but it’s getting to that: my wife wouldn’t take our grandchild out in

When I was a kid we did not have bike helmets. We would slam on our front brakes of our 3 speed bikes and go ass over teakettle onto the pavement. Heck I was hit by a car when I was 11 years old. I had an old banana seat bike that I road everywhere on the Cape. I still have the front wheel of the bike. It was traumatic but not nearly as traumatic as this story.Bike helmet crushed, but head fineAll I can say is holy crap. I cannot imagine having a truck run over your head and survive it. I guess bike helmets work. I wear one now. Not because of the story, I've been wearing one for a while, probably after they started looking more sleek and less geek.

Review by Todd Kristel @ allmusic.com The members of Simple Plan don't have anything new to say, but at least it sounds like they're having a good time saying it. They're so full of pep and energy that they even seem to be having fun even when they're singing "God must hate me" or proclaiming that "life is a nightmare." Granted, they sing mostly about typical adolescent trauma -- their

I'm not really into car models but this one caught my attention. My first and only built car papercraft from epson didn't turn out too well. You can get a handful of small F1 papercrafts and also lots of helmets. Most of the models have only one page of parts. You can also get a pit and a part of a racetrack.METMANIA

Firebox has announced their latest addition, a spiffy Cyberman helmet! Much as we love the Daleks they've got one major deficiency: they don't wear helmets. (Well they do, but plungers on pudding bowls don't count). And as every sci-fi nut knows, any baddie worth his bio-matter vaporiser needs a mean-looking lid. Just ask Darth Vader, Boba Fett (Both Star Wars) and the Cylons (Battle Star Galactia - My Personal Favorite). But when it comes to iconic headgear, nothing beats the spectacularly cool helmets worn by the new breed of Cybermen. Designed to replace the tinfoil tat worn by previous incarnations of the cybernetically augmented nasties, these stunning 2006 redesigns have an ominous, art deco look about them, giving a whole new generation of Dr Who fans cause to scarper behind the sofa. And now, thanks to Firebox, you can own an officially licensed replica without taking the Tardis to Mondas. Lovingly crafted by the exact same team behind the menacing met
