這是我2005年的時候翻譯的一篇文章，最近看到朋友在討論相關話題，所以順便把它擺在這邊，順帶一提，之前我不懂事，翻譯別人的文章並發布在網路上之前並沒有告知原作者，剛剛突然想到所以寄了封mail給他，他馬上很大方的授權給我，在此感謝Jeff先生，也順便說聲抱歉，事隔快三年跟他說XD
Ask 1.2-million-mile BMW rider Dave Swisher, of Bowling Green, Virginia. That's his helmet after he suffered a crash in West Virginia. Dave came out of it just fine—thanks to his full-face helmet. No facial reconstruction was needed. In fact, because Dave was wearing full gear, he was able to ride home!
我們訪問了一百零一萬哩長征的 BMW 騎士：住在維吉尼亞 Bowling Green 的 Dave Swisher。上圖是他於維吉尼亞西部遭受一場車禍之後的安全帽。大衛的臉完整的從他的帽子裡出來，並感謝他的全罩帽讓他不需要顏面重建。事實上，大衛還能夠騎車回家的原因是他穿著了完整的全身護具！
What would have happened had he been wearing a three-quarter helmet or, worse yet, a “shorty?”
如果他戴了一頂四分之三罩的安全帽，或者更糟的瓜皮帽，那會發生什麼事？
The diagrams above show the impact areas on crash-involved motorcycle helmets. (Source: Dietmar Otte, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover, Abteilung Verkehrsunfallforschung, Germany.) Note that 35% of all crashes showed major impact on the chin-bar area. This means that if you ride with an open-face helmet, you are accepting only 65% of the protection that could be available to your head.
上圖表示在車禍時機車安全帽上的衝擊區域。注意 35% 的主要撞擊區都在下巴的區域上。這意謂著如果你騎車時只戴了一頂四分之三罩式安全帽，你只能受到 65% 的保護。
If you ride with a shorty or half helmet, you are accepting only 39% of the protection you could obtain. You are literally throwing away 61% of the protection you would have had had you chosen a full-face helmet.
如果你騎車時是戴著一頂面罩更短的安全帽甚至是瓜皮帽，你只有受到 39% 的保護。照字面上來看，你為什麼要放棄 61% 的保護而不選擇一頂全罩式的安全帽呢？
And, of course, if you ride wearing a “novelty” helmet or no helmet at all then you have none of the protection you could have chosen.
你可以自己選擇要被保護或當無臉鬼。
The choice is yours.
選擇是你的。
