What I am trying to say is, to me there is a huge difference in the importance of different angles/ways of looking at things, when trying to decide whether to wear a helmet or not, in other words is it worth it.?

Normal way of looking at it seems to be, well, it's a 1% chance of getting into an acident, and it's a 1% to 5% chance that a helmet would be needed if you do get into an acident, and people wearing helmets still end up in the ER so helmets don't work good enough anyways, so wearing a helmet is a waste...

My way of looking at it is what if one said, 10,000 people hit their head but 7,500 didn't go to the ER because a helmet helped but we don't hear about them...
Or maybe it was................................100,0000 people hit their head but 75,000 didn't go to the ER because a helmet helped but we don't hear about them...

So, the 7,500 ? people that the helmet may have helped, or maybe 75,000 ? or the (actual) unknown number? people helped by helmets is totally getting ignored/unheard, because we don't have any real provable numbers...


That's the way I see this helmet debate...
