I dunno... I'm not helmet police, but I have sat outside the OR waiting for
the surgeons to get done repairing my wife. I have listened to the surgeon
tell me the helmet saved her life. It's a sobering experience. Afterwards,
these helmet threads become somewhat annoying. Particularly when
Being's I'm a living crash test dummy of sorts, here is my cycling

I do not wear a helmet. I learned early on riding the Hunqapillar that the
subtle weight and movement of the helmet on my head really messes with my
vertigo. I experienced an amazing sense of freedom through Grant's take on

There have been thousands of years of non-helmeted humans riding on
horseback.
I wonder why they never thought to use helmets? Unless they wore them under
their cowboy hats.
I think in horse riding the only folks who use helmets are the show horse
peeps?

Many equestrians wear helmets. I rode by a gathering of horses and their people
a week ago, and many (most? I didn't get an accurate count) of the riders were
wearing helmets. It's a long way to fall when you're on a horse, and they were
riding out in the country where it would easy to hit a

I am curious as to why helmeted horse riding didn't come about until the
1900's(?), when there were thousands of previous years of un-helmeted horse
riding, except for armour-ed combat on horseback.
So, in modern society, I wonder why we are so safety conscious about
helmets in cycling

Benefits of worrying about this stuff? Longer lifespans!
With few exceptions, 30,000 days is the average human lifespan - 40,000 if
you're lucky. However, two-thousand years ago average life expectancy was less
than 20 years or about 7,000 days. It is difficult to imagine, but most of our
Yes, cyclists don't wear helmets in Europe and Asia...and they ride much

PS- when I was in China last year visiting relatives, I asked my

hot there.
The city I was in had cyclists un-helmeted, driving

That's the issue, I think...noone really knows if it helps or hurts, as of
2014.
As of May 2014 seems like no one can prove it helps or hurts
conclusively...only anecdotes and conflicting research results so far...One
must decide for oneself to wear or not to wear...
