you can't say a bump on the head is worse than a punctured lung. and you can't say a helmet will save you from a concussion because they can not.
So, anecdotes are OK for anti-helmet arguments?
And people don't fall of their bikes (a common anti-helmet argument).
Since, it seems, you don't use body armor, you don't really believe it would serve any useful/real purpose (so, the whole "work better for me" is moot).
