Women from the Tai Dam ethnic group in Vietnam traditionally wear high buns to signify their married status. Since these buns make it difficult to wear standard motorbike helmets, specially designed helmets are created just for them

    1. I was amazed to see the lack of safety on 2 wheels in Thailand, probably an issue in Vietnam as well…

    2. Future archeologists digging up these helmets a million years in the future:

      _The Human species seems to have had a large protuberance at the top of their skull, as seen on their protective headgear fir ritual combat. Though its purpose is unknown, it is theorised that the protuberance was to attract mates for reproductive purposes…_

    3. Good for them. I mean, its about accepting helmets, so the helmet has to adapt and accomodate.

    4. I’ve never seen these helmets in Vietnam. What I have seen are like plastic baseball caps with a giant hole in the back for ponytail/buns
