To be fair, you started it with the "childish" view that helmets are only useful on busy roads where you are likely to get hit by a car, and perpetuated it with the even more "childish" notion that whacking your head falling form 5' at an initial velocity of 15mph isn't really a cause of head injury
It isn't "childish" at all to think that you might not need as much protective gear when you are doing something with substantially decreased risk of having an accident.
Do you wear a helmet to take a walk, even around dangerous concrete? Someone slipping on ice is not exactly a revelation, but most people don't just fall off their bikes.
To the OP, some packs have cords crisscrossed on the back that will fit a helmet.
