Helmets: Do you wear one? Why? When?

Unfortunately for everyone, common sense is uncommon, which is why some of us need helmets. Ians argument seems to be full of common sense to me- the statistics suggesting helmets to be compulsory for bikes don’t add up, even less so for unicycles. A unicycle lacks the pivot point (handlebars) that bikes have that causes people to be flipped onto their head. You are morelikely to faceplant than land on your head- so where are the full face helmet advocates? Common sense is what helmet wearers lack- which is why they need to overcompensate with protection anyway.

By all means wear one if it gives you a false sense of safety… I think we are more likely to die of America’s nuclear paranoia and anti-terrorist bombs than falling on your head.
