I'm just trying to not encourage people to think that wearing a helmet will guarantee they will be able to recite the alphabet after a crash like that, not to claim that it would never happen.
I understand your warning but I'm aware that a helmet isn't a one-all be-all safety device. If it was I'd wear a helmet all day everyday. It also definitely wont make me ride any "sloppier" due to me feeling indestructible or what not - not going to risk the damage to this expensive brain (college tuition, am I right?) nor will I risk damage to my expensive bike haha.
