David Coulthard

From a BeHIT leaflet, "WHY you need a helmet..."

A message from Formula one racing driver David Coulthard:

Really?

These images are mainly [watermarked] thumbnails from http://www.suttonimages.com. Note that similar (but not the same) pictures were found on Coulthard's own website during the Martlew debate. The claim above was made in a leaflet copyrighted January 2003: the pictures show that it was untrue at the time and is almost certainly still not true.

And here Mr Coulthard demonstrates the wrong way to wear a helmet (and incidentally shows just how much bigger a helmeted head is than an unhelmeted one). Note the straps: uneven and very loose.:



So, why no helmets? It can't possibly be because they make you look dorky and he wanted to maintain a cool image.



BHIT founder Angela Lee demonstrates just how cool helmets are.
