I crashed at speed the weekend before last. I had my collarbone pinned under a general anasthetic last Friday. I have a small scratch on the side of my head. The foam on the side of the Giro helmet was last seen in a number of pieces where my head hit the road (not sure if head or shoulder hit first). I have no doubt that had i not had the helmet on I would have a fractured skull or worse.....
You all take your own choice as to whether or not you wear one. For me the decision has always been very clear.
