I'm going to give that a listen mate. I always wear a helmet on the commute just due to the speed I'm going at, if I catch an unexpected pot hole etc I'm likely to land on my bonce.
But after my most recent ped strike I've invested in a pair of these bad boys: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/troy-lee-designs-bp-7605-short/rp-prod59933
I landed right on my hip, black and blue for two weeks, these should save me a bit. I haven't had a chance to "test them out" yet but I'm two weeks over due and I've been faced with some pretty intense walls recently.

There is a lovely podcast from robin ince and brian cox on this subject listen to it. There is a mention of cycling AND why some cyclist need helmets and armour.
