So much fear mongering!

 There you havbe it from the expert "It never happened to me so it is impossible."

Tom, helmet promoters - especially amateur ones - do plenty of the opposite: "I fell and hit my head! So nobody should ever ride without a helmet!!!"

Among other instincts of humans is that to protect your head. Unfortunately this does not succeed all of the time. I couldn't care less whether you wear or not a helmet. But telling us that you;ve ridden 54 mph as if it is a common event is pure bullshit because at that speed everyonbe begines to worry about crashing.

Your logic is incredibly faulty. I never said it was common (it was one hell of a downhill), and I was certainly a bit worried about crashing. I brought it up only because you claim I've never ridden fast. (What's your highest speed?)
