• since helmets aren't compulsary each person can do their own risk assessment and make their own decision.

    mine goes...
    For riding on urban roads -Chance of landing on my head has been reduced significantly because i have performed a variety of acts to minimise this. I check my bike, i check myself(nothing dangling in the chain and i am hydrated and fed), i have excellent bike control, i ride where drivers can see me and communicate with other road users all the time and inderstand the rules of the road. Chance of crashing is very low.
    Hooray i don't need personal protective equipment (PPE) (well knee pads might have helped during my recent assault)

    For BMX jumping /MTB technical single track- Chance of landing on my head quite high. not so experienced nor been trained properly.
    i'll wear a helmet while i learn or not engage in such risky (for me) activities

    if you think your chance of crashing is high then either use PPE or even do some other things to minimise the chance of that. happening.
    cycle training, bike maintence training, get sutable gear, eat breakfast
