Re: [RC] Helmets . . . Again - Lif Strand

I'd rather die quickly from a blow to the head after falling off a horse than slowly of illness or general decrepidness. That said, I realize not everyone who hits the ground head first dies quickly. Nevertheless, I'm a stubborn person and I don't wear a helmet.

For all the great stories I've read about lives being saved by wearing helmets, I have to point out that much of what passes for civilization these days came about through a lot of horse riding, and if so many people really died from falling off and hitting their heads, I'd have to wonder how our ancestors survived to get us to the age of motorized vehicles. Hey, it's just one person's opinion, OK?
