- One must admire the tenacity of mankind. When watching a man get tossed from an ice boat at 50 MPH or watching another man get tossed to his death the thought is "Must invent way to secure pink flesh to vehicle", not "I won't do that again". Wasn't the helmet invented the same way?

wasn't the helmet invented for sword fighting?
