What nanny-state whiners don't understand is that helmets can actually twist your neck or choke you as you're flipping in the air and about to hit the pavement head-first. But it's worse than that, helmets give people a false sense of confidence. That's the real problem with our civilisation, too much confidence that death isn't imminent at every turn. Forewarned is forearmed, I always say to my shrinking coworkers. Oh yeah, pry my weapon from my cold, dead fingers.
