Well you wouldn't wake up would you!!! Do you see dead people?

OK let me point something out to you - I'm posting comments on a climbing forum - therefore it would be safe to assume I climb and hence take risks. What part of my post discouraged you from walking across the road or going to Bali? The point I was trying to make was that people don't wear helments because they don't look "cool" but they don't consider how a brain injury would affect their life.

People with frontal lobe injuries often display aggression. How many times did you crash your bike?

No it is you who doesn't know better. The aim of my post was simply to alert people to what life can be like if you have a brain injury. Wearing a helmet won't save your life if you have a bad fall - but if you survive, your quality of life if likely to be better if you are wearing a helmet.

and to be a troll
I don't get pissed off very easily but your ignorance really offends me!
