I think if you take a look through some of the responsive you will see that some of them were indeed sarcastic and patronising. I raised the point about horses because there the issue is also about the risk of head injury and hard hats.
Thank you to those of you who, although taking issue with the idea of not wearing helmets, offered a reasoned response not characterised by sarcasm.
It is your decission on whether you wear a helmet or not. I' for one will always wear my hemet. They are not uncomfortable and do provide protection. You stated earlier you were a scientist. Well if so you should be aware that Wikipeadia is not a trusted site. Second in most of the posts you have written there are numerous grammatical and spelling errors. I wander if you are truly a scientist or if you are just trying to cause a stir here.
