This actually seems logical to me. He is riding in a way that is riskier than what most others are exposed to, so he dons a lid. The only unfortunate thing would be if he engages in that risky behavior in part because he thinks that the helmet will save his life if his number comes up. That would be very, very unfortunate, and is exactly the reason why it is important people know the limitations of their gear.
But I have no problem with the principle.
