Mast size problems...

Re: That guy is dangerous

Dont know how a very good fitting helmet can break your neck more than not wearing one - where is the proof to support your nonsense remarks? Carry on not wearing your helmet when climbing ....A friends is not longer with because he died after a rock from above fell on him, which a helmet would have...
