I had a point. But after watching that I couldn't give a fuck.
Oh yeah... I wear a helmet snowboarding, the first time I fell wearing one, I was riding on the flat slowly, trying to spin on my tail. The snow was like rock and I was glad I had a helmet. The second time I stacked it off a jump and wiped out hard, hitting my head a few times. Recently I hit my head and the helmet wasn't on tight enough. It really hurt and it hurt my neck too.
On my bike I flipped over my bars once and hit my head without a helmet, and it hurt, but my knee hurt more and I'm still alive.
If I'm riding outside london fast down a hill on a road bike I feel less comfortable without a helmet on. This may also be because I'm getting more scared of things as I get older.
That is all. Carry on.
