I think the fact that we made it so far without such protection from the minor injuries that can result from simple falls speaks for itself.
Yeah I agree.
When you're going 20-30mph and slap on tarmac or a rocky trail, I like the helmet to protect the noggin.
I've hit a few times and really rung my bell. I'm glad I had the helmet on.
To be clear, since the "fear & anger forumites" only see a "for or against", I am neither. I like to wear a helmet but don't care what others do and think people should have the freedom to choose.
More legislation is not what this country needs. What this country needs is more understanding and less fear.
