Wear Helmet to protect your brain, but wear a proper helmet properly

We have a 22 year old lad fighting for his life since he has a severe head injury. He was wearing a helmet but did not do the strap and hence the helmet flew off allowing his head to be hit directly. In short he is not likely to make it and it is really upsetting to know that he was a very nice person with the whole life ahead of him.

Is it not time that the Government stops us spending so much of the money to rescue these injured patients which in lots of the situations turn out to be futile. The legislation to ensure safety measures such as helmet and seat belt have to become mandatory. The cost in using such safety measures is trivial comparing to the lakhs of rupees the 22 year old family is spending

Who else can take responsibility apart from the individual and the government.? All private organisations and corporate bodies can make it madatory for the individuals to wear helmets. one such company will not allow its employees into their campus if they are not driving in with the helmets. good.

It was indeed funny to see a family travelling in a two wheeler with the driver and the head of the family wearing a helmet and the wife and the two children not wearing any. it is indeed not possible for all the four of them to wear a helmet any way as the four should not be travelling in a single two wheeler!

What does the above situation tell you. As the breadwinner and the father of the family, my head and life is very important, but my wife and the children!!!!  mmmmmmmmmm  don't bother!!!!!!!!!!

It is time to pause and think eh!!!!!!!!!!!!
