Safety first

Today, my mother finally pressured me to wear my old helmet while riding my bike. Halfway through my ride, 3 spiders came crawling out of it and onto my face, causing me to lose control of the bike and crash head-first. FML

Thats my worst fear, spiders popping out of nowhere and me dying as the result.

The only good thing is you were wearing your helmet!

And this is why Bikes have brake handles

That's why you check your helmet before you put it on, silly.

Irony! I'd be so mad at my mom! xD Lol. You OK?

hi I'm oogyboogy the professional in fml translating. most, not all, fml's are exaggerated and i am here to bring out the true fml in them. Today, my mother finally pressured me to wear my old helmet while riding my bike. Halfway through my ride, 3 spiders came crawling out of it and onto my face, causing me to jump off and throw my helmet. FML

how did you know it was 3 spiders? did you count the amount of spiders on the way down? doubt it. you clearly only felt one and freaked out and probably just made up the whole head-first thing.

I hate to say it, but YDI; you should've checked the helmet. But that sucks, OP, having spiders crawl on your face :o On the bright side at least you didn't crack your head open when you crashed 8D

wtf, who would check there helmet? "Oh, I feel like riding my bike. Better check my helmet for spiders, moths and STDs!"

I've been checking my helmet since I was like 11 and heard about a woman who got a spider in her ear from her bike helmet. I also check my shoes before putting them on whenever I'm camping because I know spiders, scorpions etc can crawl in there. It's a matter of using common sense. That said, there are a lot of other commenters on here who seem to think it's perfectly normal to check your helmet first... so it's not that stupid an idea.

I never wear a helmet. I've ridden my bike not a hundred times, but thousands, and still have never needed one. So I'd say 1 out of a hundred is a vast overstatement.
