Some people can put juju inside the helmets and when they are worn the victim can either lose consciousness or be struck dumb," passenger Kolawole Aremu told the Daily Trust newspaper.

I was wondering what that funky smell was in my current helmet...

Kind of reminds me of the behemoth that crawed out from under the bleachers and beer cans and swill one morning at the old Loudon track with a half watermelon on his head.

I fiqured that was for safety too.

if they force them to use a helmet they should reimburse them if thier helmet is stolen
