I don't wear a helmet when i bike, but i know i should be. Any thing that can cushion the blow, should one fall, is a major help.
I wore a very basic helmet in hockey, when i first started out in 1964. It was just a few pieces of plastic and foam, looking some what like rugby head gear. I had a nasty spill on the ice once and hit my head hard. I'm sure it would have been worse had i not been wearing it. Only side effects were the need to join internet camera lists. I also wore a goalie mask, as i was a goalie for around 12 years or so. I suffered a bad eye injury in 1973. Hit square in the eye with a slap shot. Had i not had that on, i'm sure i would have lost my sight.
