If you think a helmet is effective then just wear one. After that I
don't understand why you are arguing so vociferously that everybody
else should. Why are you so concerned about my health (assuming it
could be maintained in better condition if I wore a helmet)?

What is it about Psycholists & helmets? It seems to be 'you are not my mum,
you can't tell me what to do'.

Motorcyclists wear crash helmets, drivers wear seat belts. They save lives.
Glove boxes in cars have been replaced by airbags - do motorists complain?

Psycholists seem to be attention seeking idiots in this respect.

Granted you look like twats when you wear helmets - but everybody knows you
are twats anyway, so does it matter?
