I work as a fireman on the ambulance in Belgium. I have had lots of discussions with people about protective clothing and the helmet.
Those riding around in T-shirt always end up with the fact that it is their choice and their body and blablabla....
I can ensure you, summer season here mains daily having to go and help a biker that took a fall or was hit by a car.
If you chose to save money on your protection then do so, but realise that your changes when you hit the tarmc are being reduced to zero. If you survive we can litteraly scrape you of the tarmac.
It frustrates me like hell and I feel little sorry for those that fall without approriate protective clothing. It is, as they say themselve, their choice.
Get smart, protect yourselve and survive in one piece! Get a descend helmet and appropiate clothing.
