This goes back to the statements I outlined at the top of this page. If you are still strugging with this one, I can explain it again and again for you.)
And you don't seem to be able to read. I've said it again and again: My position is that some protection is better than no protection.
That's been my matra all along. You guys have not come up with any valid real world arguments to convince me otherwise. Your unforseen consequences are worthless because they're hypothetical and the odds of them occuring are so low that wearing a helmet far outweighs no wearing one.
My eyes are open! They got wide open after I survived my motorcycle crash. I looked at my messed up helmet and thought: "Wow, these things really do work!".
I can't understand why your eyes are so closed. Can't you see the simple logic that
SOME protection is better than
NO protection at all?
