Yes, of course, but you're missing the point magnificently. I don't get to decide that I'm going to be in that kind of accident.
I was only trying to gain understanding on whether a person who chose not to wear was doing so with the point that they could be prone to some freak incident...I wasn't saying that they could control most incidents, and then chose to put a helmet when they were about to have an accident!
I had training in risk management and safety awareness some years ago, and my reason for the interest in peoples' differing opinions was based purely on this interest. As has been mentioned before on this thread, and others, Helmet wearing is personal choice - do I or dont I? is the question we all have to answer...I have no malice towards anyone regarding this!
