That is all.

I also don't dive into pools (Ive taken care of a PARAMEDIC who is brain dead / vegetable because he dove into a pool).
don't get me started on seatbelts...
Gee that was all fine and dandy but you left us hanging. Is that the only reason you wear a helmet is so your family won't be thinking what if you had been wearing a helmet? You don't wear a helmet to protect your head? Just protect your families feelings?
