Well I certainly never said they were only useful on busy roads. And I certainly never said, or even implied that a five foot fall at speed isn't a cause for head injury. What I said, and you wish to pretend doesn't exist and imply that I'm just going on my "feelings" or something, is that years of recorded statistical data show that the risk is minimal, and you're just being blind to the facts by worrying about wearing a helmet while biking, but not in other situations in which you're Much more likely to have a TBI. Use the googles before saying my views are childish. Your views are unfounded. If you want to wear a helmet, by all means do so. You'll be safer and it doesn't hurt anyone. But don't attack others for your preferences. Especially when yours are based on a pretty unlikely fear that you were taught to have, and the view of not bothering with a helmet is based on recorded evidence.

I really don't understand why some helmet supporters always feel the need to get gung-ho and attack and insult others for simply disagreeing with them, and on a topic that doesn't even affect them.
