Without question you would be better off with one. The fact that yoiu would be safer in a car with a helmet is immaterial in this discussion as there are other safety devices available in a car that can reduce the risk of injury there are no such options on a bike. A better comparision would be motorcycles; with helmets and without http://www.smartmotorist.com/cyc/cyc.htm
