Maybe somebody could invent a crash-worthy turban made of kevlar or some kind of ballistic fabric? Or maybe a helmet that looks like a turban (with optional...

Just wondering, sometimes u see Singh riders wearing turban and riding bike on the road, how come they no need to wear helmets? Is religion a valid enough excuse? But i see Malay girls wearing tudung with helmets riding bikes also. So y are Singhs exemtped from the law? Any bros or sis can enlighten?

I nv see singh ride bike before.. either drive car or take public transport only..

I was wondering about something else along similar lines as well ...

there are quite a few sikh pilots in the Indian airforce apparently ... (and a couple of heros from the indian-pakistani war ) ...

but ... do they wear a turban up there ? ... Confused ... I mean, you need the oxygen mask connected to the helmet eh ....

I saw a Singh ride a Harley on ECP recently. He didnt wear a helmet Smile

religion is a sensitive issue in sg. tudung can cause its thin, u can wear a helmet. but singh turban thick, cant take it down. and its a violation of the rules if they take down i think.

I dunno why, but I found your post funny..HAHA..yeah, if they dun wear helmet, then no oxygen..I guess they are those 'Singhs' that does't need to wear the turban..

so religion overpowers the safety factor? anyway they do remove their turban, otherwise how to wash hair? so y not make remove it when riding? No doubt rules/customs/traditions have a rich history and culture but these are all set by PEOPLE. And when times change, people change, so rules naturally shd change.

2cents.

Fatum SG

I remember a sikh chap during NS ... he insisted on a turban cos he gets to wrap a camo scarf around his head and look garang like rambo while everyone else was wearing jungle hats ... Laughing

kopiosatu SG

yes they do.

don't ask me how they do it, but somehow they can fit it under the helmet.

because i've seen aircrews do it.

forumer84 SG

so pilot's helmet bigger than bike helmet? Rolling Eyes

No singh forumers in sgforums?

kopiosatu SG

there are design differences definitely.

the aircrew helmet isn't designed to withstand accident impact. it probably more like your regular army helmet or even softer. plus the aircrew helmet has a headset system inside, so its probably slightly bulkier.

that's just my speculation.

i should ask the aircrew one day. but no more singhs around.

Did you see them in army uniform before??? their turban can block bullets sia….
