ONLY WATER GETS SOFTER ON IMPACT AT SLOWER SPEEDS. CONCRETE DOESNT.

So? Who cares about everyone else. You don't really see anyone in NH wearing helmets, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna be fully geared up.

I see people wearing full leathers in VT. Check the people out at NESR forums, a lot of people who do track days are from VT and I wanna say that 95%+ of the members all gear up for rides. That's the same mindset as "oh, ___ jumped off a bridge, so I will too"
