wearing helmets
helo ?
i've recently started wearing a helmet pretty much every wear i go, it makes me feel more secure and gives me the reassurance that i will not physically injure myself and will not expire before the day is over. the only time i take it off it to go to the bathroom and when im riding my bike. im hoping this trend will catch on because its better to be safe then sorry. does any one else wear a helmet? i've gotten a few weird looks, but i thought they might just be looking at the weird purple and orange birthmark covering half my body OK plur2safety1st

this was taken from an important website (http://www.bhsi.org/bighead.htm):
Helmets for Large Heads Over the decades, the average American's head size has increased. In the 1960's it was 7 1/8. Now it has probably surpassed 7 1/4 and is headed for 7 3/8. Manufacturers are aware of this long term trend, but they apparently doubt that there is a large enough market for extra large helmets to make a profit on them. The one exception to this reluctance is Bell Sports Inc. In response to requests from us, inspired by inquiries from consumers who could not find a large enough helmet, Bell began in September, 1997 to market its Kinghead model, a unique helmet that meets the ASTM and CPSC standards and is sized to fit up to size 8 1/4 heads (26 inches/66 cm circumference). Although Bell is not actively marketing the Kinghead, you can buy one at your local bicycle shop. If you are in an area with no local bicycle shop, call Bell at (800) 456-BELL. If you can't find it locally, they suggest that you can mail order one from REI. We have also seen it in Bike Nashbar's catalog, priced at $30 plus shipping. We applaud Bell for producing this helmet, since they have no reasonable expectation that it can make any money for their company, and have done it as a consumer service for people with large heads. There is more info on the Kinghead at Bell's Web site. If the Kinghead does not meet your needs, there have been a few other helmets on the market which were made in larger sizes as well, although not as large as the Kinghead. Many manufacturers list XL size helmets, and both Giro and Troxel once made an XXL, although they are not currently manufacturing them and old ones are difficult to find. We were told by one consumer in the fall of 1996 that GT had introduced a line called the Stinger with an XXL that seems shaped for long heads. In 1997 a consumer with a 60 cm head informed us that he had found a Netti (Italian) helmet that fit his longer-shaped head. And in 2000 a consumer told us that he much prefers his Louis Garneau Le Tour XXL to the "dorky" Kinghead. You may have already tried one of these helmets, and of course you have already tried removing most or all of the foam fitting pads, which is the only way to make more room for your head without modifying the helmet in a way that reduces protection. If demand becomes more evident, more large helmets will appear on the market. We have tried to help by giving helmet manufacturers at ASTM helmet standards committee meetings copies of letters from consumers who were searching desperately for larger helmets, and suggesting to the manufacturers that there might be money to be made making a larger helmet. To date only Bell has responded. Please let us know if you find other good solutions to this problem that we can pass on to the next person with a very large head.
