Ramsay: I Don’t Care About the Cost, Wear a Helmet
“I don’t care about the journey or the cost. Even kids on a short trip should wear one. It’s been a tough week, but I can’t stop repeating the importance of wearing a helmet,” Gordon Ramsay reiterated in his post while showing the effects of the fall on his body.
The chef is known for his love of cycling, triathlons, and Iron Man competitions, but he admitted that this accident has affected him emotionally.
Many of his followers have sent him messages of support through social media. All have wished him a speedy recovery and thanked him for the message regarding the use of head protection.
In Spain, wearing a helmet while cycling is mandatory for those under 16. For older riders, it is required on interurban roads and highways, though not in cities.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safety measures, especially helmets, regardless of the distance or perceived risk of the ride.
Ramsay‘s experience underscores that a helmet can be a crucial factor in preventing serious injury, a lesson he hopes others will take to heart.
