Reason I brought it up, walking to lunch today we saw a guy stumble on the sidewalk (not fall) and I mentioned that it was the most common cause of traumatic brain injury. Then I wondered a) if I remembered that right (I thought 50% so I was only part right) and b) if it was general knowledge among the Helmet Thread gang. I had the same thought as you did, maybe the guy should be wearing a helmet.
