necro... please... never wear your helmet...

[Sphinx]

Do you speak English? "I wear always my helmet." Not gramatically correct. What an idiot.

With this quality of teachers in our schools today, no wonder the children don't learn shit.

Necro is a teacher? That WOULD explain it.

[Necronomicon]

Me english bad? That unpossible! The all fuck you off.

[Sphinx]

Excluding Necro, I believe that everyone should wear a helmet. I've had friends avoid serious injury while sport climbing due to their helmets. All it takes is the rope to catch behind your leg, then you flip and smack your head in the wall. Climbing's dangerous enough.

close Necro, but it's:

"Me fail English? That's unpossible!"

i wear ______ my helmet climbing ice and on loose-rock crags and alpine routes. and i think people who decorate their helmets with manufacturer stickers are lame.

Yeah, I didn't even wear a helmet until I started sport climbing I know, it makes no sense at all, but when I climbed only trad, it just seemed like my partners

were more careful.

 

Now I wear one all the time. I'm always bonking my head!

The nice thing about my helmet is it makes my massive porkchop head look like it's normal sized.

or be liebacking, fall, and have the weight of your rack make you fall upside down. i got a bump on my head from just such a fall last week. ouch. (my helmet was being held hostage in a friend's car from a previous outing.)

[Mr._Natural]

luckily every time i have fallen and hit my head i have been wearing a helmet.

See? Those things just make you top-heavy and prone to tipping over. You're much safer without them, or if you do wear one, you should wear ankle weights to balance things out. To do otherwise is just asking for disaster!

Can't you just put all that hair in a bun-type thing? That ought to protect your noggin when you're sans helmet.

It helps a lot to be heavier than your rack.

[Thinker]

I almost always wear it. Always when leading, often when TRing, esp if there's activity at the top of the cliff.

 

Awhile back a kid climbing a neighboring TR kicked off some rocks that showered down on all at the base of the crag. Some who didn't have their hemets on yet made a point of donning them.

[bird]

How about when there are dipshits above you showering you with small rocks and biners? Never been hit, but a few have come damn close.

[Rod_Xuereb]

Even a simple short crevasse fall turns out a lot different if you hit your head on the side of the hole without a helmet.

Don't leave home without it.

And don't forget to have your name on it.

[Thinker]

So do the people who put their names on their climbing helmets write their names on their bike helmets and ski helmets, too?

Only if they took the Mountaineers Cycling and Skiing courses.

So that people can return it to you when you lose the silly thing.
