This Jeff Allen Bit About the Pre-Helmet Era is Comedy Gold

This Jeff Allen bit about the pre-helmet era is comedy. The popular funnyman hilariously recalls and captures what it was like before bike helmets became widespread. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear the laugh-out-loud and incredibly relatable scenario he creates about the pre-helmet era.

Safety should be of the utmost importance, no matter what you're doing or going. While it's impossible to prevent every accident and injury, taking several common-sense precautions could significantly reduce the likelihood of them occurring. So, of course, whatever you're doing, exercise the proper amount of caution.

Using caution and common sense when riding a bike means wearing a helmet. Today, 99 percent of the time, when you see someone riding a bike, they are wearing a helmet. However, that was not always the case. Just a few decades ago, people rode bicycles, and most did so without a helmet. The increased attention on head injuries and their impact has to have been a factor in this change. What else could it have been?

Again, widespread use of bike helmets wasn't always the norm. In a clip posted on YouTube, Jeff hilariously points out what it would have been like for a child who had shown up wearing a bike helmet. The scenario, while imagined, is still very accurate.

"Are you kidding me?" Jeff asks the audience. "Any man over 40 knows if you had actually showed up for a bike ride when you were 12 wearing a helmet, you would've needed the helmet to keep your head from caving in while your friends were pelting you with rocks."

Later in the clip, he keeps his hysterical scenario going.

"' Dorko, what's with that plastic hat?'" Jeff says, to much laughter from the audience.

Jeff's scenario is incredibly spot-on. Kids, especially young boys, will tease and mock one another in such manners.

Job 8:21 "The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips."
