When you go mudding in your truck, do you wear a helmet?

Pros and Cons...

 

[BlackBII]

I pretty much wear a bicycle helmet with stickers on it every where I go...so yeah.

i see no need for a helmet unless youre doing serious rock crawling, or something like that.

it depends on how apparent the risk of whatever were doing is. ive spent a whole day taking turns jumping a ranger with broken out windows and yes, i wore a helmet because it made the event "feel safer", even though it eventually did roll over and make a huge steam show (popped off the radiator hoses when the body mounts and steering shaft failed). ive also been mud bogging in a jeep without a helmet, but didnt feel unsafe (maybe it was the roll cage that inspired confidence?)

No, I live in Redneck Central we don't were brain buckets around here, we just but your brain in a bucket after the wreck.

What?

Many of the old Die hard mud trucks never came equipped with seat belts. I have a co-worker with a scout, has no seat belts, and he does not wear a helmet.

only if the place im mudding requires it, some of the bigger competions require one, but otherwise no.

I just splash for the most part. There has never been any danger of me hitting my head from getting jolted around so i never worry about it. I bump my head from time to time but not nearly hard enough to do anything. I will wear a helmet when It is required or I know I am going to be beatin around.

Pros - head is safe when getting jolted around and keeps you from knocking your self out behind the wheel if you hit your head.

Cons - If you get in a serious wreck you could break a few more bones like the collar bones even your neck!, And limited vision (I can't stand helmets cause I have to physically turn my head to look around and then I'm not looking ahead.)

sry should of worded that different.


No i don't wear a helmet but you should wear your seat belt

 

[Jay FX4]

Ah, that makes more sense to me.

I guess for mudding it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but for any type of crawling or climbing I'd have it on.
