just so you have a little more understanding, a helmet is made to absorb an impact force up to a
maximum of 12 mph and at 20 to 30 mph, you shouldn't expect too much protection, but hey, humans often feel a need to have control of situations, even if that "control" is an illusion, and not real. Helmets fit the bill, so I understand why some people feel they're needed (even in situations that are beyond their capabilities)
