Yes, of course you're right. So one should always be vigilant. How does a helmet hinder such vigilance? It's nice to have the helmet as a final layer of protection if more "pro-active" prevention isn't enough. Not that helmets are a guarantee of anything, however they do lessen one's chances of more serious head injury. 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 to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
