> As well, insurance and hospital costs are likely reduced since I'm more often just dead rather than maimed. No, please stop. This canard has been repeated by the anti-helmet crowd for decades, despite having been disproven countless times. Even if you're a number-crunching robot and care for nothing except how much cash it will cost today, helmets are a huge win. > Also, yes internet I understand that falling from a mountain bike at a slow speed can impact your head just as hard as falling from a high speed, that isn't the point, or even entirely true. You're riding so slowly that a fall won't impact your head much, but merely kill you?
