As a cyclist, I worry how this oversized helmet will perform in an accident. As an appreciator of individual expression, hop to it!
The problem with these is that they can snag on something in an accident. In a motorcycle accident you want to slide, it's the sudden stopping that kills you.
He's wearing a T-shirt, I think in an accident his helmet snagging would be the least of his worries.
It's hard to live without a head. You can make by without an arm. I didn't really mean this guy specifically, just this sort of thing in general. They look cool, but make your helmet unsafe.
Ooooh, ok. I didn't think a silly hat would have such a dramatic effect.
I doubt you would lose your head, but a snag could certainly whip your neck.
