Best reason to wear yet.

Fails in comparison to the cost of even the cost of an ambulance to pick you up.
Ive had one instance where I was very happy to throw a cracked $80 helmet in the trash compared to having my head injured due to a mechanical error (which was my fault for not double checking), but no amount of bike handling could have saved me once the the events were set in motion. I cant say whether it would have been my brains, a couple stitches or just a nasty bump. Im glad I didnt have to find out though.
