I gotta disagree here. I won't use myself as a rebuttal example, I'll use the millions of cyclists worldwide who ride every day without a helmet....in places where traffic is much more "unordered" than in the US to boot.
I also recall a study that seemed to indicate that more experience riding tended to decrease one's risk of accidents per hour of riding...maybe CB can cite that one.
