A reason not to wear a helmet 5-Apr-2005 At 3:55:58 PM hairy1

I'll probably get flamed, anyway.

I think comments about risks involved in driving to the crag etc. or when is an appropriate situation to wear a helmet, are missing the point a bit - you are going to do these things anyway - wearing a helmet is removed from these activities & only serves to slightly reduce the risks of climbing its self.

a [slightly] extreme analogy, but you could liken not wearing a helmet to driving around with bald tires - you can still do it, most likely with no problems, but its slightly more risky.

an observation...when I go whitewater kayaking - be it on boring, sedate class I or balltearing class V creeks, i never see boaters without helmets on. Its just part of the culture.
