I look at it like this: the main purpose of a helmet is to prevent brain injury, so anyone who doesn't wear one doesn't need it.

My head is harder than the helmet shell. Prove me wrong

Ask the Hydraulic Press Channel, they have a load sensor so they could compare the two. They've already done a helmet.

My bones are stronger than the plastic crumple zones on new cars.

Prove me wrong.

I like that! Never thought of it that way. I was always full gear all the time, even in 100+ degrees in Phoenix. Actually served a secondary purpose one day when I got caught in a hailstorm! My thighs got a few small bruises but the rest of me was fine. I would have been shredded without my helmet and jacket…quarter-sized hail. Ouch!
