Default Re: Helmets in the Paddock

I read somewhere that even falling 5' onto your unprotected head can result in fatal injuries. This is how fatalities in street fights occur and means that even falling off at 10mph you could end up going home in a box.

Obviously, this could be propaganda from a helmet manufacturer, but it would explain why the accident in the original post was fatal.
