Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I skydive and people ask why a lot of us wear helmets since it’s not saving you if you hit the ground. The plane or other people can hurt you plenty.
It also means I can just flip my front visor down and not worry about stinking goggles.
Also a valid reason. I stick my audible altimeter in there too…so that as well.
Correct me if I'm wrong too, but if you're coming in on a parachute and somehow hit your head during the landing, that could hurt a lot, right?
If you tumble then yes, it can help there too. It’s usually banging it on exit or turbulence or somebody coming in a little hot to a formation that I’m happy I have it. Pretty sure if you hit the rear wing even with a helmet that’s gonna cause you some issues though.
