Is this a good time to ask wear I should put my helmet camera if i weren't wearing a helmet?
I am sure there are options maybe not as good.

Did you start an argument with them when they failed to cook your tea, and then punch one for making a disparaging remark about your estranged wife?

We have had the odd person calling for compulsion in the past, and/or calling people stupid and all but wishing a head injury on them so they can say 'told you so'.

Well you're bound to get a few odd people on any forum...
Adrian, please don't stoke the flames. Your post on design is helpful.
I suppose on a 'civil, pro-helmet' thread, one is obliged to let the obvious response go...Is this a good time to ask where I should put my helmet camera if i weren't wearing a helmet?

I wouldn't call @BigonaBianchi stance "with bile", he makes some valid points.
While I agree with @User13710 et all that cycling by large is not dangerous, there are some types of cycling where the wearing of a helmet is beneficial - or can be beneficial.
I do lots of group rides with inexperienced, wobbly riders. There has been crashes aplenty, on quiet, traffic free routes. Our speed is negligible, the crashes are caused by the inexperience of the riders, chatting away instead of concentrating on the hazards of the path, poor control of their bikes. While helmets have not saved any lives imo - but not in the opinion of their wearers - helmets have helped minimizing damage due to banging heads.
The sportive events @BigonaBianchi refers to are full of similar inexperienced riders, crashes are common due to wannabe racers mixing with beginners.
When I started cycling a few years ago I did not think a helmet was necessary, wasn't cycling in traffic then, but got one because my LBS, an experienced ex racer, told me I needed one.
I wear mine mostly because it protects my head from the weather, don't usually wear it in hot weather unless I participate in said beginners group rides.
Have been told off for not wearing a helmet on a very hot day: apparently it would inspire me confidence downhill
Btw, going out now, eventual sarcastic responses to my post will have to wait for a response.

It's rancid, hateful and disgusting. It's basically threatening people with death because they don't agree with him.

There's an implied threat in his remarks. If someone screamed at me that I'd "be smeared all over the road" cos I don't wear a helmet I'd find it threatening, especially as the implication is that the helmet would prevent a car hitting me in the first place. It's absurd, over-emotional hyperbole and threatening language.

I don't think there is ANY justification for posting lurid and gory death fantasies because you don't like someone's clothing.

Posting vividly gory descriptions of someone's death is threatening.
