False! I wear one all the time and don't take any risk at all I wouldn't take without a helmet. A couple years ago I took a fall that would probably have cracked my skull if I had no helmet on. It cracked the helmet. A skim of mud on the trail from rain the night before. It didn't seem slick to me, it was. I have no pity for people who get hurt with no helmet on. Its just foolish.
