The worst things to happen inside a helmet.

[user 16446]

Thought I'd start a fun thread to find out, or get peoples experiences or imagination on the worst things to happen inside a motorbike helmet.

I'm guessing there may not be too many things that could happen, but who knows what people might come up with.

I'll start with two of my own, which I have experienced.

Sneezing
Getting a dog hair that tickles your nose

Not really a helmet but kind of the same scenario...

I watched a guy vomit in a breathing apparatus face mask during a fire drill. He was a bit sea sick lol.

I have had a large huntsman crawl from my neck into the helmet and accross my face while doing 100kph. The bugger was big enough to cover half of my face.

Riding back from a rally in the late 80's, on a stinking hot day, and decided to open the visor to let some air in the helmet. Only trouble was I also let in a wasp that stung me on the side of the temple. I swelled up so quick I had to take the helmet off and continue the ride without one.
On another occasion, again returning from a rally, I threw-up inside a full face. Washed it out at a road side creek good enough to get me home, then tossed it in the bin.
Wear a half face now.

How can a guard rail happen inside a helmet?


I had been away from home for a while, and was keen for a ride. Hit the track and was going through a burm leading up to my table top fairly quick, and felt a pain on the top of my head. Did the jump whilst looking like an epileptic shaking my head to try and get away from whatever stung me (stupid I know, given my head was inside a helmet haha)....

Turns out in my absence, I had a couple of mudwasps take residence in my lid.

I've also been riding to the forestry before with one of my helmets that was a bit too big for me at the time, I wanted to wear it anyway coz I just bought it, due to smashing my other one... I was overtaking a car (yes I was on an unregistered motocross bike, but I lived in the bush) and the helmet started to roll back on my head. The chin bar ended up obscuring most of my vision so I had to tilt my head back and peer out from underneath, haha.

my mate was riding his dirt bike to a friends place along a dirt road doin 80km/h + and a wasp flew into his helmet through the ear space and started stinging him repeatedly causing him to stack! haha.

also my mate in thailand had a crash just recently on a scooter and fractured his scull poor bloke hes doin okay tho

 

[Defective]

mine isn't dramatic but kinda funny, i burped while i had the helmet on, stinky

LOL if I screamed I reckon the bugger would have crawled into my mouth....

Quick flip of the visor lid, knees hug the tank tight...... let go of the bars followed by the "full matrix" backwards bend trying to get wind into the helmet from underneath to blow the bastard out the front. Worked a treat....

All of this at 3 am in the morning on a freeway... I slowed down enventually came to a stop took the lid off, took the jacket off checked for 15 minutes and went on my paranoid way home lol.

No sorry me and spiders are like drinkdriving,They just don't mix

 

[lizardloco]

Having a wasp come into your helmet would be like hell, I'm not afraid of allot of bugs but wasps are horrible

 

[Wallypod]

bees, not much worse than riding through bees.

 

[snakeluvver]

In Dubai my friend was on his mini motorbike is his garden, I watched him driving round and a gecko ran across his face and clung to the inside of the visor, funnyest thing I've ever seen

Mate what's worse was I could actually see it doing the slow crawl accross my face but I couldn't do nothing about it travelling at 100 clicks. As it was night time it was nothing but a shilouette of hairy legs against the street lights. I was crapping myself....
