My helmet color discussion is better than your helmet color discussion, and we need another extrication PPE thread, too

We don't have enough competing "What does helmet color mean in your department" threads running, so I thought I'd start another one. Of course, mine is better, because it was started by, well, me. While we're on the topic, let's get off the topic and discuss whether we should wear turnout gear, wildland firefighting gear, extrication gear, or just go naked and wear Dutch wooden shoes while performing extrication. Of course, if that were a seperate thread, it would be better than all of the other "What to wear to your friendly local extrication" threads, too, because, well, I'm just in too much of a hurry to post my thread so I can't be bothered with a basic site search to see if 785 other people have previously started still-open discussions on the same topics.

So, if you have a transparent helmet, does that mean that you can't go inside burning structures unless you wear wildland gear or go naked to extrications, or what?

(Tongue planted firmly in cheek and no offense to residents of the Netherlands intended, as this thread is parody and thus legally protected by the rules of comedy.)

I'm mulling over a consumer boycott - would that be too harsh?
But unsurprising...
Ben, are you wanting to be harsh?
I thought I'd been fairly restrained until now. I may have to turn harsh if that crap stays up much longer, though.
I haven't been on here too long, and if it weren't for you guy's after reading that insulting statement, I'd be gone from here!
So I was wondering. While responding in "naked w/ dutch shoes" mode, which do you think is better, oak or maple?
And I was wondering, can I put lights ON my helmet? A couple of red strobes, maybe?
Maple!
LMAO, (Thought i told you to keep these pics of me private) i see how you really are no more for ya....
Maybe the shoes should be lime green.....
That would be safe-ish due to higher visibility!!!
Whats with the "we" stuff?
