I don't consider it a matter of life and death; rather, going home sore, or going home with a concussion. A helmet isn't gonna do you much good in a collision with a car, but most riders have at one time or another had some sort of solo crash. A popped tire, a slide on oil, front wheel caught in a crack in the road. These are the events that take you from upright to body-slamming the pavement. I would prefer to have my helmet take that bounce when my head reaches rapid deceleration. Joe Bernard Vallejo, CA.
