I rather be wearing a helmet and not need it, and not be caught in a situation where I would need it but not wearing it. It is true that chances of getting a head injury are slim compared to the rest of your body, but I am sure you'd be glad you had something when it counts. I will be when it happens.

No one said you had to wear a bicycle helmet while riding on a bicycle. You can just as easily wear a motorcycle helmet/better head protection when riding. You can also wear all that BMX body armor too to help protect against falls. Probably not going to be all that comfortable than what is normally worn but that's the price for protection.
