The helmet could increase rotational acceleration to the head from a
glancing blow during a fall, increasing the severity of head injury. The
effective larger diameter of the helmeted head could also lead to a head
impact where none would have occurred to a helmet-less rider.

You could have an original thought, Sherman......nah, never mind,
that's even less likely than that helmet FUD you parroted.

And I was thinking if he wanted to be safe he should really stop doing all
those tricks.

If he really wanted to be safe, he should wear a helmet while inside a

Reminds me of this Giro ad:

Watching closely, none of the riders heads actually hit the ground.

(yet, I still /usually/ wear a helmet)
