Week 6

For as long as I can remember, my father has always stressed the importance of wearing a helmet when biking. Even though my dad stressed this point quite strongly, I never quite thought that it was overly important. Although some people go through life without a single bike wreck, I've found myself among the group that has. The only thing that kept me in one piece was my helmet, concreting in my mind my father's words.

Over the years I had heard that saying so many times that it never set in. But after my wreck it really sent home a message that you should never take safety for granted. This has been really beneficial throughout my life and can be applied to almost anything, whether bike riding, driving or spelunking, you should never put life or limb in danger for laziness.
