Who wears them?

[KH96XJ]

Saw a thread on another forum discussing helmets. Not something I have thought about. There have been one or two spots so far that I could have been much safer with a helmet on. I'm going to look for one before it cools off so I will have it as I grow more confident, some will say stupid, in my wheeling. So who wears one or not?

Not the same situation as offroading, but I was in car accident and got a really bad concussion. From the head trauma, I ended up losing my vision in my right eye. 4 years later, my vision hasn't gotten any better and it bothers me constantly, to this day.

Just trying to say you can never know what will happen when you don't protect your noggin.

I only wear them in competition events. And yes they take some getting used to bouncing around

I was thinking more along the lines of a climbers helmet for my use like this :link: (http://www.rei.com/product/831117/black-diamond-half-dome-helmet)

some would say some things aren't worth protecting..............
