I have come to the logical conclusion that psycholists don't need

Don't all your arguements apply to any situation where a head injury
is possible?

Walking up/down stairs is not dead safe and a helmet would reduce head
injuries in the event of an accident. Do you wear one for that? (or is
your brain too small?)

PhilO

Lots of slips in the bathroom while taking a shower, so you could wear
one there too.

I don't normally take a shower while trying to balance on two wheels!
