First, "dangerising" is a word now?

Personally, I wore a helmet for close to 15 years before one did anything for 
me.  But on that occasion it absolutely saved me a trip to the hospital and 
possibly long-range concussion effects.  I fell sideways and the SOUND of the 
helmet hitting the pavement left my left ear ringing for days.

I do not favor legally mandatory bike helmets mostly because I think it would 
be ineffective.  They are definitely mandatory in my family.  When my kids see 
someone biking without a helmet and ask why they're allowed to, I tell them 
"That person's parents didn't really want kids."  They're still not sure if I'm 
joking or not.

Hey, ya gotta let Darwin do his thing once in a while.
