that is utter utter bollocks. People are turned off helmets because they look stupid and give you bad hair when you get to work, it has nothing to do with implied safety or otherwise.
I agree that this is a stupid thread though, either people will or they won't. At my most rational I can't see any good argument for NOT wearing a helmet - just on the off chance it will save you.. but I still ride without one most days when commuting.
Human beings are irrational and also entitled to asses their own risks - deciding whether or not to wear a foam hat accordingly.
Thread ends, credits roll.
