Absolutely wrong on both counts, IMHO. If a car hits you doing 50kmh, the direct hit will likely be on the lower body. The head will then either whip down hit the hood or bodywork, or hit the pavement after flying over the car. In either case, a helmet will likely be of great assistance. As for paranoia, why is that mutually exclusive with wearing a helmet? Can't one be paranoid ~and~ wear a helmet? Surely that's the best of both worlds? I, for one, have much paranoia to go around... <g> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
