He's wrecked his bmx before and while it was never the head region (more like the legs or arms) he never rides without it and neither do I since I got one with my last bike. It's held up through 4 seasons of abuse and some minor scrapes from the ice (not as fun ) but yes I agree, nearly every person I see on a bike has no helmet. While I like the feeling of the wind in my hair (literally) I'd rather have the brain bucket because you never know what idiot in a vehicle isn't paying attention and it could save your life. nomatter how short a trip or even around the yard I make sure my son wears his.
