I always wear a helmet when riding. For me the point of using a helmet is not only about serious brain injury. Ever see a scalp wound bleed? Huge mess.
Also, I don't like the idea of going out to dinner with a huge hairless scab in the middle of my forehead.
The helmet may protect me in a serious crash, or it may not if the forces involved are too great. However, the helmet is very likely to protect my scalp and upper face from some nasty bloody skin and scalp injuries that are sub- lethal.
