K the first guard cup was made in 1874

The first helmet was used in 1974

This means it only took men 100 years to realize that thier brains are important too!!!

Evolution in action!!! yay

V, All kidding aside, all the safty equiptment seen today is a result of traumas ( or fatalities ) in the past . It seems we learn from our mistakes and we are slow learners . In my younger days I would get my adrenaline fix by racing Formulae Fords ( a class of racing car at the time ) and being interested in the history also I was amazed at what they had in decades past . No role bars, no onboard fire systems, no fuel cells , less flamable coveralls ( somtimes tee shirts and shorts ), no nomex , and leather helments . I also met a number of bikers who where incensed that the laws compelled them to wear helmets ? Oh well, I do remember an add for Bell helmets " if you have a $5.00 head where a $5.00 hemet, if it's worth more wear a Bell ". Let's hope we evolve past that .
