Are Safety Helmets Really Necessary-_4674

If you are taking part in a one off activity, you can keep the costs down by renting helmets instead of buying them. In choosing the right safety helmet for you, you should always make sure that the helmet is of the right fit as one that is too loose might slip off easily and defeats the purpose of wearing it anyway. Unlike buying shoes, you should never buy helmets for children that are one size bigger just to save on future expenses. Your children's lives are worth much more than that.
The current challenges we face are an opportunity for us all to reflect on this question and to realign our lives to that which brings the greatest love, joy, passion and peace for ourselves and others. It is an opportunity to ensure we are being true to ourselves for as William Shakespeare's Hamlet so eloquently reminds us "To Thine Ownself be True. And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou can not then be false to any man". So lets come back to reflecting on the three patterns of identity mentioned above.Suppose my identity is based on any or all of the above three patterns - what I'm doing - my job, what I have - property, shares, cars, family or what others think of me - "he's really achieved so much, he's great!".
3. I am what others think of me - again this is quite a common identity and "keeping up with the jones's" is based on this one as is the glorification of "being famous" and "being a socialite". If I believe in this identity I want everyone to think well of me and will do whatever I can to ensure this happens - I tell half truths or even lies so that I will be liked and look good, I will dress as all the "good people" dress.Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian author, wrote a very thought provoking story about a man called Ivan Ilych , a self proclaimed "social climber" who lived in Tsarist Russia. Ivan is suddenly struck by a terminal illness, which offers him time to reflect on his life and he asks himself - "what if my whole life has been wrong?". The only time Ivan could remember being true to himself is when he was a child!
If you are planning to take part in horse riding, skating, cycling or any form of motor sports, one of the most basic and important safety precautions is to wear a safety helmet.
The quality and features of each helmet might also be different. A modular helmet for example, is great for communicating with friends and family without requiring the user to take it off. It's also a lot more convenient for those wearing glasses to put on or take off the helmet. The quality of the helmet too plays a part. You might feel tempted to cut costs by purchasing lower quality helmets, but you will surely be cursing yourself if you get into an accident.
You might think that it's a waste of money, since you're only participating in this activity once. But consider the statistics released recently, that one quarter of the people brought into emergency rooms in US hospitals are there with head injuries. How many of these people could have been saved had they been wearing safety helmets?
