Wearing motorcycle helmets during tornadoes?

[Randall53]

I read this a year or so ago. It sounds crazy maybe, but since I used to ride and have several motorcycle helmets around, my wife and I have added 2 of our old full face helmets to our tornado prepardness list. Read this article and think about it.

When I was in Okinawa, when the Typhoons hit we were required to wear our Kevlar and flak jacket to go outside if it was actively hitting. Bunch of guys in the smoke pit, rain driving in sideways and extremely strong winds, us in silky pt shorts, flakes and Kevlar smoking and drinking beer lol. But yes a helmet is probably a good idea in a Tornado

I put bicycle helmets in my safe spot if the weather gets rough for the kids. Wife chuckled a little but it's better than nothing.

Sure, anything that protects your noodle is better than nothing... A bump cap, hard hat, batter's hat, football helmet any and all of the above...
