Or here's an alternative: While showering, slam your head against the tap with a helmet. Then repeat while not wearing a helmet. Did it hurt more without the helmet? Then obviously, you should be wearing shower helmets. Common Sense!
This may be part of the reason why this thread is going on for so long, you are mixing up two things in your response above:
1) Are you better off wearing a helmet when you hit your head?
2) Is it a necessity to wear a helmet while biking?
Now if you answer yes or no to each of these questions, there are 4 possible combination and I have seen people here arguing for 3 of those possible combinations:
1)yes 2)yes
1)yes 2)no
1)no 2)no
