    In my experiences, the helmet is the least needed piece of gear. By that I mean, definitely also wear armoured jacket, pants, gloves, and boots. With all that and a helmet, you’ll only need to worry about breaking bones, which is nothing in comparison to the other outcomes. Neglect the other gear and you’ll wish you didn’t wear a helmet.

    Edit: Hm, apparently a lot of.Lemmingtons need to wear helmets off the bike too, or make it past the first line of a comment before reacting, or there’s a lot of squids here.

        Well that all depends on how fast the sedan that hit you was going as you minded your own business going through the green light. Either way, “Huh?” was probably the last word ever spoken.
