Oh, I'm not saying I don't ever exceed my limits when I'm wearing a helmet. But I will usually do so consciously... as I believe you have said. However, doing something careless has always seemed to have been linked to me not wearing a helmet. I guess for me, even the act of not wearing one while riding translates into general carelessness.
