Vinci, no need to apologise for your post, made some sentient points. I think Tony's point is, if I may "why is this a debate?" helmets are available for those who want them, and severe brain injury is a possibility for both those who do and don't want to wear them. Nobody here is so naive to think there is no risk, however some are prepared to push risk-benefit further. Anyone who challenges that is somewhat foolish as it's personal. If my lack of helmet increased the chances of a small child being chopped in half then we should debate and reach consensous. As it is, my decision will only harm me and that's up to me. We've had this year on year and it never dies, question is why are we discussing it in the first place????

I'm intrigued. What are the benefits of not wearing a helmet?

Is that a measurable benefit?

If you think helmets look daft you obviously haven't visited www.sweet.no

Then again, cool comes at a price.

In my opinion, all helmets look like people on day release. Just an opinion.
