Get a helmet dude!

The helmet could increase rotational acceleration to the head from a
glancing blow during a fall, increasing the severity of head injury. The
effective larger diameter of the helmeted head could also lead to a head
impact where none would have occurred to a helmet-less rider.

You could have an original thought, Sherman......nah, never mind,
that's even less likely than that helmet FUD you parroted.

If he really wanted to be safe, he should wear a helmet while inside a
motor vehicle in motion.

Reminds me of this Giro ad:

Watching closely, none of the riders heads actually hit the ground.

(yet, I still /usually/ wear a helmet)
