As a kid I used to find all kinds of reasons not to wear a helmet.  I found 
some pictures of me jumping a 4 foot jump helmet less.  (Hid that one from the 
kids!)  I would wear a helmet in a show, or on a "risky" horse.  One day I 
tried to figure out when the current greenie I was riding was no longer a 
"risky" horse, and I couldn't explain it either to me or the children.  I have 
ridden with a helmet every time since, and so does any body who rides on my 
property or on my horse.  My helmet has allowed me to survive a direct impact 
on asphalt pavement, and a few other direct hits to my head - including one 
completely inexplicable buck from a usually very mellow Fjord.  So much easier 
to replace a helmet than a brain!
