If it was such a huge, obvious value, it's
odd that racers don't do anything about it.

That might be a good idea. It's a much better idea than asking people here since many of the people here claim that they
never fall.

It's an interesting question. It leads to another question, if it's useful,
why racers don't do anything about it, since they seem to fall fairly regularly (opposed to the all the people here who think that helmets have no point because people basically
never fall).
