Oh yeah that reminds me, with my recent crash and all I should talk up how great motorcycle helmets are!

Like, I t-boned a car with a force of (calculate, calculate) about 12400 Joules, fell and banged my head on hard macadam and skidded for at least 20 feet, and it hurt much less than I remember as a kid falling onto wet grass from a stationary bicycle.

Evel Knievel, the famous ‘70s motorcycle daredevil whose exploits earned him a Guinness Book slot for most bones ever broken, was a huge fan of motorcycle helmets.
