I made a panic stop at over 15mph and endoed head first into the back of a motor home. Even though I walked away with probably a mild concussion (no ER visit), my ball cap had a huge dent in it...thank god for that ball cap, I would surely have died without it.
Dude, if you feel like you need to wear a helmet, wear it, if you don't, don't, and quit worrying about BS or what others think.
