Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

This always annoys me, how do they know this? I think it's more psychology, the helmet is fucked so the presumption is that your skull would be just as fucked. Now I'm not saying that helmets do not offer any protection it's this assumption from people who really have no knowledge about the strength of a helmet to be able to make that judgment that you'd be dead or you'd have this problem or that problem.

it's misleading to say the least. People look for reasons to wear one and they will find one... human nature. BTW saw you last week riding near St Pauls... no helmet like me, although that's no claim to fame, just saying.
