I ever saw
an actor in the movie ride on his 250cc scooter and he’s only wearing bicyclehelmet on his head. The scene present beautiful view of Florida completed with the
hot weather. And guess what, it’s not just happens in a movie, it also happens in
real life in Florida. Peoples sometimes wearing an unsafe gear and apparel
because the hot weather make they sweat all the time even during ride on
scooter motor. What on my mind, I was agreed if the hot weather is the reason.
But what about safety rules, police, personal safe and other driver’s safety.
According to
study held in German about accident and various types of helmets. Revealed “Damage
Area” caused by worst accident or light accident which hitting your head 30-40%
of the impact were to the lower jaws and face parts.
From memory,
I ever saw someone share his pictures of himself holding large dental bridge
support and six tooth gap on his upper teeth when he smile. Another guy just posted
his face after reconstructive surgery.
Seeing from
law perspective in Florida, wearing bicycle helmet when riding any motorized are
set out in local regulations.
The rules
said every people who not to wear DOT approved helmets will be required to pay
$10,000.
Besides the cost, like many others riders said most of accidents followed by injury to the lower jaw and face parts are something that a bicycle helmet doesn't protect. Wear a Full Face will give extra safety from the rain, dust and insect. Just wondering when we ride on the road and an insect hit our eyes, what happens next we will lost the control of our scooter and temporary blinded.
Recommendations
To avoid hot
weather and dry climate in Florida but keep on safe try to purchase full facehelmets which designed with extra air circulation. Many brands provide this
technology from few years ago with DOT license and approval. Soft materials and
extra light spoons on helmets also affect air circulation inside your helmets.
If you ride on mid speed I think all the air flow is cold enough to swap and
reduce the heat.
