Surely, given that scenario, if you do have an accident, you probably will want a helmet, despite the fact you think the odds are minimal. Your common sense should tell you that.
To advise against a helmet is simply stupid. They should be compulsory, even for the luddites amongst us.
Unhealthy food should be banned by government as well. It kills far more people. Are you aware of how many have died at the hands of Twinkies, HoHos or Zebra Cakes? To argue against that fact is simply stupid. We need the government to protect us.
