I think closetbiker is coming from an area where mandatory laws tend to make a casual non-helmet user more passionate against the use of helmets. It also happens when motorcyclists live in a state with mandatory helmet laws.
But jeez, live and let live; or die.
Don't wear a helmet if you don't want to. If you are aware of and accept the risks, go for it. It's your life.
If you want to wear a helmet for extra protection in a low to moderate head impact situation (I know I do), then do it.
Either way, who cares? I'll wear a helmet, but if the guy next to me doesn't want to, how is that my problem?
I'll bet you never could guess just how insane this thread could get about an hour after you made this post, did you?
It's become considerably more insane with the participation of someone displaying more insanity than I've seen in quite some time.
There will always been insane people, it's just too bad when they disrupt productive discourse with their insanity.
