A few things I know...so I'd like to share:
Seniors should wear a helmet when taking a shower. The impact sustained from bathtub falls are often more severe than motorcycle racers.
The cheese helmet suggested earlier in the thread is ineffective by day 6 or a few centuries later.
Bicycle helmet design is rather poor, especially the trendy pointed rear types which will catch, rotate the head on impact; helmets need to be thick and round like the type kids wear.
I believe my helmet saved my life, was a Bell Furio as well, just like the OP's
I often think the weirdly dressed full faced helmet wearing dude on the trail is way smarter then the rest of us roadies.
I've got to iron my clothes for the rest of the week now.
