Does /n/ wear helmets? I never do. I don't believe they work either, I'm a cyclist but I'm also a motorcyclist and I know a little bit about how helmets work, I refuse to believe something this shit is helping me in a vehicle collision nor do I believe it's necessary if I fall on my own.

Wait until something is going to run over your head after a fall.

Should have slight gap between sunnies and helmet.

What are you even trying to say? A foam hat is meant to dissipate some of the energy from your head impacting on the pavement. It'll do jack squat if a cager then tries to run you over.

I got my front wheel stuck while turning at night, doing about 25kph (15mph)
Flew a bit and landed (and slid) on my head/face.
Concussion and a bunch of heavy bruises, also cuts on both lips. Was bleeding out of my nose like crazy
The ER doctor said theese types of accidents usually go with a skull fracture if the person does not wear a helmet.
I walked my bent bike home while telling people I was fine (don't belive people who have had accidents btw)

Went and bought an identical (new) helmet the day after

it's pretty easy to hit your head, especially if you're low on energy and not super alert. there's dozens of situations where your upper half will whip towards the pavement, like if you go down hard on your side and your shoulder hits the ground first your head is still carrying all that momentum and just bounces off the ground. I say your head is worth protecting

i cracked a couple helmets when i was young and dumb. i'm glad my brain didn't get bashed. that said, i never wear a helmet anymore, but has more to do with my ambivalence about existence, not skepticism of their utility

I know this all anecdotal bullshit and etc but I've never hit my head except WHEN wearing a helmet. I know that doesn't make sense, but every accident I've had without a helmet, I never hit my head. I've had a fair split with/without as well. The one time I went over my bars, I was without helmet, my head was unscathed (I was definitely not going very fast, but fast enough to go over the bars). The last time I did hit my head, I was going faster, lost grip on a corner, scraped my arm a good bit, felt the helmet smack the pavement. Maybe, without a helmet I've just never been going fast enough for my neck to fail under the inertia and let my head go aswing, but these days, if I know I'm going fast, not just commuting I do bring a helmet. Too old to give af how I look in one.

Because the helmet makes you feel safer so you ride riskier

I ive never worn a helmet and am not advocating for not wearing one but the handful of times ive fallen I havent hit my head either. I wonder if the slight increase in your heads radius makes it more likely to hit the ground with a helmet. also maybe our head protecting instincts are based on the radius of our skull and not head+helmet
