Now, while you're in a naming mood perhaps you could first ask Cunobelin to name an example of clueless pro-wearer.
Hint:
Someone wearing a damaged helmet, ignorant of the fact that it is now compromised and should have been replaced?

It's a long time since I did any, but I don't think a cycling helmet is suitable for rock climbing. For a start, I think that they need a tougher shell to cope with (sharp) stone fall.I got it for off roading, rock climbing and paintballing - (paintballing after I ran head long into a tree - figured maybe some sort of head protection would be good) but it's good for off roading.
Helmet advocacy while wearing a broken one is a bit like preaching safe sex while wearing a split condom. They work (to the extent that they do work) based on science not on magic, you don't get points for pretendingI do love it how people want it all ways, on one hand telling us helmets are a placebo , as your highly unlikely to ever need one and in even of an accident they are next to a waste of time, then berating us if our helmet isn't in perfect condition, - what difference does it make if the first two are correct?

Helmet wearers have 40% more sex than non helmet wearers. That's good enough for me.
