    I don't believe that gear made any difference. the Boston Globe article left out the most important part... they hit a truck head on

    I'm sure helmets would have helped a little.

    Of course they're gonna leave that part out. Nothing else matters to them, other than the fact that they weren't wearing helmets. Chances are that if they were, it wouldn't have even hit the press...

    gear or no gear, it's more important not to do stupid shit like passing when there's an oncoming vehicle. Lets get real about the safety nazi shit here, don't get me wrong, I wear gear, and beleive in wearing gear, but wearing gear does not prevent accidents. and not wearing gear does not cause accidents.

    like JC said, kind of hard to argue. even if you're in a car you might die still with head on...

    i was just pointing out the quote ".. wearing gear doesn't prevent accident and not wearing gear does not cause accident."
