In my 20s I was into extreme sports. Motorbikes, skydiving, freediving and the shebang. Just loved the adrenal rush.

One of my motorcycle instructors told me “motorbikes are insanely dangerous. They are essentially crotch rockets. Not wearing helmets is a deathwish and I’m pretty sure i’ll outlive you if you ignore the safety. Think about helmets and guards as those extra Mario lives. Your helmet will crack but your brain will be fine.”

Sane advice, i’ve cracked multiple helmets. Brain is doing fine.
