Wearing a Helmet on Your Trike

[tndragonrider]

First even wearing a helmet will not help with a common sense approach to riding, any bike. Your body doesn't do well in absorbing impacts.

i always wear a helmet and will never be without one. But there are some out there that want to look "cool" and wear those shortie helmets. Well you might as well stop by the local funeral home and pick out your future home, they even offer custom colors and powder coating. Worse yet, pick out your wheelchair now when paralyzed from the neck down.

Remember even a helmet cannot replace what is inside it to assist with proper/safe riding. I was told at a very young age to always ride like you are "invisible" and you will live longer. It has worked for me so far!

Was looking at some pics from back in January ..... I had modified my snow blower with heavy rubber extensions on the paddles of the impeller ..... that sucker throws even the lightest snow with a vengeance now .... so .... even with the snow blower.

I wear a helmet and won't be without one.i have had 3 levels fused in my neck and need another one done.The problem I have is the weight of the helmet.I wore a modular helmet for a long time,but is just to heavy for my neck.Now I have a full face helmet that is much lighter,but am considering a 3/4 helmet,but it would have to not weigh much.Some of the 1/2 helmets are heavy,but even the lighter ones place the weight to high and will not work for me. I am always looking for the perfect helmet.It seem never ending.

We used Nolan full face for many years on 2 wheels.
Hospital workers say your nose and chin gets bad damage
with open face things. We just did 2500 miles around Fl without one with the 1800 trike.
My neck can't take the weight any more , So when I wear one I made up a foam kids floaty thing around the neck with a string to the ends. This spaces to the shoulders and puts the weight there instead of the neck. Also this type spacer is used for race car whiplash. The helmet weight whip is credited to break some necks. I'll try the floaty for an interstate trip soon. Be aware There is some limited head turning and view with different idea's.
Happy Day
