It's not enough to wear your gear. You have to wear it properly.

[Alien]

Wear gear properly ! There were two guys riding motorcycles on a windy afternoon. One of the guys was complaining because the cold air was blowing into his shirt. His buddy told him to turn his jacket around, so that the collar of the jacket would be at his neck. That way no air could get into his shirt. So that is what he did.
 After riding for a while the two men came up on a curve. They were going too fast and they crashed. Witnesses called 911 and rushed to the motorcyclists aid.

When the police arrived, they were doing a report. The police asked a witness if both of the men were deceased when they got to the scene.

"No" the man replied, "The one man was still alive, but by the time we got his head turned around to where it was supposed to be, he was dead!

Ride Safe,

Reminds me of the story of two long time friends, call them Ben and Bill. Bill was in a car accident and was killed, so the authorities called Ben to ID the body, knowing they were lifelong buddies. Ben came to the scene of the accident, looked at the body and said "yep, that's Bill's shirt and his new shoes, but where's his head?"  The trooper told him under another blanket, so Ben walked over, grabbed Bill's head by the hair and held it up high at arm's length and looked at him rather quizzically. The trooper asked "well, is that your old friend Bill or not?" To which Ben answered "well, it's his face but I don't recall him being quite so tall."
