Do you wear a helmet in the shower? If you do not, you are PLAYING WITH DEATH!!! You are more likely to suffer a head injury in a shower than on a bike. Therefore, if you are so confident in the helmet's ability to protect you, and so afraid of the bicycle's danger to your head, then logic dictates thate you should wear the helmet during both activities.
Do you?
