OMG,
I saw probably the biggest Fred ever on the news (in the Bay Area). They were interviewing a few cyclists, who commute to work (they never interviewed me !!!). Anyhow, the guy had a sweatshirt, with a hood (covered over his head). Then, he had a baseball cap on top of that. The helmet then fit over the cap and the sweatshirt hood. The way the helmet fit (and I use that term extremely loosely), it would not have done him any good for protection. I just wondered if anyone stopped to tell him that the way he was wearing his helmet wouldn't help him.
