[ ::: ♥Keep_Mailing♥ ::: ]™ These Harrowing Photos Prove That Helmets Save Lives...

This is Why You Should Always Wear a Helmet! It's always a good idea to wear a helmet. They are some of the oldest protective equipment on earth, having been worn by the Akkadians in the 23rd century BC, the Mycenaean Greeks since the 17th century BC and beyond. Even back then, we knew how important and fragile our brains were; the skull can only provide so much protection. Nowadays, helmets have become more advanced regarding construction and materials used. They are now used for far more than just combat and are a necessary part of everyday life and sporting activities. Whether you're riding a bike or skiing, modern helmets have been adapted to cater to a wide range of possible injury scenarios. Below are eight examples of helmets from all walks of life doing their job: 1. Construction Mishap   This picture shows why those signs that urge everyone to wear a helmet on construction sites are very, very necessary. 2. Tree Collision This photo posted by motorcycle rider Roxanne shows how her helmet saved her life. She hit her head on a tree when she was flung from her bike and was able to walk away with significant, but not life-threatening injuries thanks to her helmet. In a statement, she said "my face and head took the greatest impact with the tree. I took a direct hit in the face which led the doctor to proclaim that I was lucky to be wearing a full-face helmet. My cheekbones weren't crushed or bruised, my spine was fine, my neck was only slightly sprained, my teeth were intact. The impact of the tree broke my nose and cut me above the left eye, which filled the inside of my visor with blood. I couldn't see or breathe." She broke her ankle, wrist, nose, and suffered cuts and contusions, but she lived to ride another day thanks to her helmet. 3.Thank You Kevlar   Orlando Police shared this photo on Twitter. It shows where a bullet struck an officer's helmet during the deadly shooting at Pulse Nightclub in 2016. The officer's life was saved thanks to his Kevlar helmet. 4. Snowboarding Accident An Imgur user wrote about his friend who works in a ski gear shop who had a customer with a startling story. This man had tried to get a fresh turn, but the next tree came way too soon. 5. Crash Caught on Tape   A Reddit user shared this image of what his helmet looked like after a harrowing accident which was allegedly caught on a dashboard camera and posted on YouTube. 6. Saved by the Bike Helmet   A Twitter user posted this picture of his friend's destroyed bike helmet after an accident. "My friend has a concussion after his bike accident. His helmet saved his life. Wear your helmet!" 7. Oh Deer An Imgur user posted a photo series called "Just a little early morning deer hunting," detailing his collision with a deer while riding his motorcycle in America. The deer didn't survive, but he did thanks to his helmet. 8. Inside a Helmet This image of a shaved motorcycle helmet has made the internet rounds, while some say the helmet was damaged due to being dragged by a bus, others say it was shaved down with a sander to show the hardy material within. It shows why helmets are vital accessories.
