I am a daily commuter cyclist and have been knocked off my bike on a number of occasions through no fault of my own. A few years back I was hit and left with a broken femur. My helmet was cracked right from top to bottom and I know that it saved serious brain damage, and possibly my life. People don’t question putting on a seat belt in the car. I don’t see why helmets should be any different on bikes.
