i returned my helmet as being defective, since when i fell off my bike it didn't protect me from breaking my radius, and forcing me to go to the hospital. Stupi

  imagine if you didn't wear a helmet, would the injury be worst?

    As I once broke my radius flying over the handle bars, I can at least stat for me: it was my broken hand. My head (I was wearing a helmet back then) never came close to the ground as I landed on my hands. Unfortunately one of them failed to stand the forces and broke. Perhaps without a helmet I had driven a bit less crazy and not crashed stupidly.

      i tried that excuse with a cop once after being pulled over for not wearing my seatbelt... she was not amused.

    most likely, but i'd suspect any time your helmet was utilized, the rest of your body likely fared much worse and would need hospitalization anyway. In short , i wonder why they look at overall hospitalization rates and not specifically at chronic head injury. It's like saying tissue purchasing went up in the winter, therefor people must be more depressed because you use tissues for crying, totally missing blowing your nose and cold season.
