Very good point. It's right up there with waiting until we're sure that we've destroyed the planet before we take any action to stop destroying the planet.

Personally, I can easily afford a $200 helmet and I'm confident that it's at least as safe as other helmets and MIGHT provide a benefit, I'm buying it.
