man I got such a massive concussion when I was a teenager last run of the day on the shitty little snowboard park at the shitty little hill, icy as fuck. There were these rollers before the tabletop, insanely slick with ice, of course I thought, I'll just not fall but you know what, I fell, fucking hard. I woke up more than ten minutes later, in mid sentence, in the ski patrol shack at the bottom. My friend told me I had been talking for 4 or 5 minutes before I said "wait where am I?" I truly believe that concussion effected my ability to concentrate, and I wish I was wearing a helmet. It really kills me that you can't see that helmets are for the things you DONT PLAN, like falling. I could not wear a seatbelt, but there are some real wackos driving cars out there, dig?
Well, and you need some speed. You can't turn when you're going really slow. Not that well at least. Hitting your head likely means death if you hit hard enough. Hitting your nuts...well, you just can't reproduce...and get an honorary darwin award :-p
People who have stupid accidents that mean they can't reproduce are just making the human race better.
Why? We need sport because it's basically the modern day warrior/barbarian, if we ever degenerate back into cave people for whatever reason, we'll need those genetics to hunt. EDIT: although that only really applies to runners and weight lifters really.
oh yeah i got a concussion (well never diagnosed) once from a children's slide when i was 10. basicly im going down this slide and i see this kid at the end so i use my hands to stop myself from going down and ended up flying upwards out of the slide and landing my head on a piece of wood
You know what, imo you should make a statement. Go to the closest slopes and start doing tree-line runs all day every day, without a helmet. I bet people will get the message then.
No helmets in sports means Darwinism can work with out interference. And yeah I do snowboard with out helmets, and skateboard.. But I don't do dumb shit that's gonna make me land on my head.. plus we got fresh powder in tahoe rite now.
Dubee, I'm going to be honest. Out of all the posts you've made, all the stupid arguments you've had, nothing has made me think of you as a genuinely unintelligent person as this thread, especially your last few posts. They're so stupid that I would genuinely be surprised if you don't have an IQ in the mentally challenged range, and I'm not even trolling slightly. "No helmets in sports means Darwinism can work with out interference." is the single most stupid thing you've ever said. But by all means, keep doing shit without one, because as people said, you're just letting natural selection do the work for us.
no, even with helmets and medicine you guys just don't understand how the survival of the fittest system works
I think you don't. Under current health care in the US - plenty of people can get treatment. if they cannot pay, they file for chapter 9 bankruptcy and have all debt expunged. People who before would have died at birth now live on. The genetically unfit survive long enough to have offspring...how's that survival of the fittest? Socialized medicine even further degrades survival of the fittest. Funny statistic: The number of people alive with Diabetes has more than quadrupled in the last 100 years. Why? Because before they'd die from it; today, we can treat it and keep them alive. Go and hit your head on a tree while skiing? Not to worry, they can patch you up!
