In the first place, you have completely missed the point of the post you are replying to. In the second place, you give no sign of having read and understood the arguments that have been rehearsed so many times in this thread.
As it happens, were I a mountain biker I would wear a helmet. In the context of my cycling on roads, the chances of my having an incident in which a helmet might matter, are much lower. And this has nothing to do with Russian Roulette, but with an understanding of the limitations of helmets.
