Im only suggesting that cyclist give themselves every chance to survive a crash without injury or even death that is possible, and that included wearing a helmet.
No one here has ever claimed they are the greatest cyclist, nor that they have not or will not ever crash. The world class cyclists who have crashed and died, are you including the ones who were wearing helmets at the time...?
Cyclists have every chance to survive a crash without injury or death, even if they are not wearing a helmet. In the event of a crash, a helmet may provide some injury mitigation. Or it may not.
