Apparently the anti helmet crowd here live in ------ never never land. They never crash, and they never hit their heads when they do.
Close, but it's the Nether Netherlands where people rarely crash their bicycles because they generally aren't complete ****wits when riding one, and when they crash it's generally inconvenient rather than dangerous and results generally in bruises and road rash rather than injuries an death.

I had a Britton explain to me that the Dutch would also wear helmets if they where riding brake-less fixies through dense city traffic at 30+ km/h. He was probably right and he also made my point about the Dutch not being complete fu<kwits when riding a bicycle.
