Take care of your head: accident victims shared photos of helmets that saved their lives

It's probably unnecessary to remind you again that a helmet on your head is a good idea when riding a motorcycle, bike or doing something extreme, but let's note again: a helmet is a great idea!

We are not going to be unfounded in our statements. Look at these photos sent by users of the Bored Panda website — they are able to convince even the most stubborn to take care of their heads. It doesn't matter what kind of cool motorcyclist or cyclist you are. The head sweats in helmets, well, let it. The hairstyle is spoiling, but it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that one day a helmet can save your life or at least prevent an accidental collision from disfiguring your face beyond recognition.

"My face and head took a blow when colliding with a tree. I got a direct hit in the face. The doctor said I was lucky to have a helmet covering my entire face. It didn't crack, the visor didn't break. My cheekbones were intact, my spine was fine, I only pulled my neck a little, my teeth were intact!"

"That, guys, is why you have to wear a helmet."

"Daily reminder to wear a helmet."

"The helmet saved my life yesterday. I was hit by a car while turning left, and I flew into the windshield."

"Orlando police shared this photo on Twitter, showing where the bullet hit the policeman's helmet. The policeman's life was saved thanks to the helmet."
