>Do you wear a bike helmet?When the situation calls for one. Namely, when I foresee riding a bicycle at or near the limit of my abilities or my equipment's capabilities.
>Have you ever actually fallen off of your bike and hit your head?A few times. I was wearing a helmet on all of those occasions.

>>931652>They seem really fucking autistic and vocal, and are obsessed with a single study done in Australia years ago that showed cars pass closer to people with helmets.You seem really autistic and blinkered.

>Honestly I don't think many of the anti helmet people even cycle.You contradict yourself: you said in the very first substantive sentence of your post that you do see such people cycling.
>>931843>FR/DH riders>Likely not to wear helmetAbsolute hogwash. You will never find a rider doing enthusiast-or-above level riding publicised on any major MTB website without wearing a helmet (can you find the one minute exception?).
