No, NOT in poor taste. It opened a discussion that we can all learn from. I ride a scooter, it will never hit 100+ but it will go 45mph and that is plenty fast enough to get me killed. When my daughter rides the rules of our home say she must wear a helmet. I don't follow those rules. "Do as Daddy says, not as he does!" Maybe I need to rethink some things.

Gone But Not Forgotten
We all need a few reminders now and then. I have a heavy foot on the road. Things like that make me think. Not in poor taste from my view.

Can you image being that poor kids Father and seeing that on youtube? Especially at the end where it said he lived? omg... that would mess me up in the head a little I would think.
It's so easy to fool yourself in this hot weather and go for a short ride without a helmet, and thats all it takes to start that bad habit. I found myself on the interstate the other day, just a short trip, - no helmet! Never again.
Don't take a chance guys!
I am in the exact same boat as you. I just picked up a 1979 Honda express moped for my youngest boy and spent alot of time going over safety rules/situations with him, and my oldest boy... well, I don't let him drive anything anymore.

i did have a wreck on a motorcycle.jerk on my side in a curve.i went to the edge to try and miss him but slid in the gravel on the inside of the white line.went down hard but only at about 45 mph.i hit on the dirt but my head hit pavement.i still have the helmet, it is no longer fit to wear because of the impact, but it saved my head.always wear one. its the smart thing to do
I was also in a motorcycle accident. Got rear ended my a mack truck on the highway as I was slowing down to turn in off the highway. His headlight hit my left handlebar and took the bike out from under me. I had a helmet on. The helmet's still got the road rash scratches to prove that it saved my head from becoming a hamburger.
