MALAYSIAN ACCIDENT

Helmets are no guarantee to save lives.

Following the speed limit, no racing in public streets, no drunk driving, following traffic rules and road courtesy and generally using one's common sense will.

do accidents happen like these all the time? no. now, imagine that one if the rider was without a helmet. a single scratch on the head could be so serious already.

true, it is not the ONLY factor that can save a rider's life, but it will surely contribute to a riders survival..the video and the pics you posted is just one of the situations where in a rider is clumsy and or not following safety protocols, and you think with out a helmet, that accident wont happen? it still will because this situation, its not about the helmet alone, it was the way he was driving perhaps..

and for the records, at least his head was still in tact because of the helmet!

Kasagaran raba sa accidente nga nag-involve motorsiklo, ang nag-motor man ang sad-an. Inya mokiha-kiha dayon sa nakabangga kai nahospital.. ka maayo ra jud ninyo, ganahan mo-save og P4500 pero kung ma-accidente tungod sa inyong pag-ka oplok, lain ang makabayad.. support ko aning balaud.

partly correct, naa man sad mga naka sakyanan na careless pud ...

but wearing helmet is a very good practice,naay man sad barato na helmet grabeh nasad ng 4.5k oi

[itzurisen]

there are five in my family who ride the motorcycle. a DTI approved helmet costs around 4500 pesos..mutiply that by 5 bro....asa man ko mangawat ana nga kwarta?

here in my city...we ride motorcycles as a way of life....we learn to ride the motorcycle even before we learn to walk.

this law is a violation of our way of life...

a violation of your way of life and not on majority of people's lives...U

4500 x 5 or your safety?

4500 X 5 or ICU 15,00 a day?

4500 x 5 or comatose?

4500 x 5 or your life?

think about it.

cant do anything about it, it's the LAW!...U
boycotting his products will not affect him anyway..U

There are a lot of maybe's. We will never know what will or will not happen, unless you can divine the future. Accidents may or may not happen.

The point is, helmets serve a purpose but in some extent it will contribute a placebo effect. Riders will feel invulnerable being reassured that wearing helmets will save him so he tends to push the safety envelope further. Riding within the speed limits will definitely contribute to one's survival.

Why not apprehend those breaking the speed limits or driving recklessly? Mandating helmets on everyone will only make traffic enforcers focus more on apprehending riders without the mandated dresscode than doing their job which is regulating traffic.
