Yep, you're doing right thing, mate. Even former Czech president rejected / still rejects wearing one, even if he loves skiing, still saying it's only his live, his decision etc.

 

He was right in a way, but it's really one of the small things that won't hurt you if you do them, but may seriously hurt if you don't.

Sad news, all my best wishes to him and his family.

 

I'm not a true Formula One fan, but some years ago I like to watch his race competitions. He's a very talented driver/ sportman.

This is sad news. It was on national television a lot today.

I'm sure the doctors in Grenoble did all they could, even taking away a piece of his skull to release the tension on his brains and cooling them to reduce the brains' need of oxygen. He was skiing outside the set perimeter, but still very sad.

I've followed F1 for many years, but if I'm honest was not a MS fan he was the arch rival of the driver I wanted to win. But I always have had a massive amount of respect for him and what he achieved. Which was in no uncertain terms remarkable. With F1 having played a big part in my life particularly as I grew up I was so shocked and saddened by this news I sincerely hope Michael fights as hard as he always did on track and can pull through this. Good luck Michael.

Yes very bad news, wish him all the best. I'm a Schumi fan myself, but I have to say that in life you have to realize when you've used up all your luck and limit the dangerous stuff. (basically taken enough risk)

Very good that he wore a helmet, even if most of those helmets are not very good for high speed crashes. (they are worse than cycling helmets for example)

 

In any case, if you do very risky sports, you'd better take all the safety precautions. I had a helmet save me just this year on an MTB. (just wish I had knee pads, wear them now)

That's right and I wish I could wish him a happy birthday, but I can't.

All I wish for him is a fast recovery
