[QUOTE 1855164, member: 45"]Be assured that experienced doesn't mean correct but in this issue it means bloody argumentative and subjective. You'd do well to step away now and never enter this room again.[/quote]

I fear the absence of a helmet may not offer the protection you crave. I thank you for your contribution, but I disagree.
I was once hit by a wasp between the eyes. I stung me and one eye was closed by the time I arrived at work, about 5 miles later.
We kept bees in those days and I'd been stung severally every spring and summer throughout childhood. This was my worst reaction ever to a sting. I splatted the malefactor against my eyebrow. His version of the event will never be written.
I don't want to stir up a hornets' nest here, but it would never have happened if I'd been wearing a helmet.

Do I get a choice about that?
Yeah! You can be whatever you like but I'm pro choice! I would have loved to have ridden my Ducati sans helmet, I might not have dared but I would have loved the choice!
But you are not giving me any choice about whether you are pro-choice or not. Hardly the actions of someone who is declaredly pro-choice

To be fair, you had your chance to
persuade me! #failed
Thanks Ade for reminding me about protective glasses. I do wear them.
Now I've not seen argued anywhere that helmets prevent crashes. Maybe the opposite.
Whereas, in theory, not being temporally blinded might. The ping of an insect or grit on glasses is not uncommon. Should they therefore be higher up the safety list?

You seem to have a bit of a bee in your bonnet.
It was a wasp.
And it isn't there any more.
And I wasn't wearing a bonnet.

It's a subject, not the West Bank! Settled? Pah!
My anecdotal addition scuppered and nulled your anecdotally-derived hypothesis and proved (or attempted to prove) a point that was immensely important to me at the time but which I have now forgotten.
You cannot simply declare a subject settled and (metaphorically) walk away.
What if I was right? What if the rest of the Internet was wrong?
What if it was important?
I cannot recall the point of discussion, or the proof I provided to support my now-forgotten argument, but I simply cannot sit by while you deny me the right to be utterly right about everything.
