>Thinking you're being safe just because you're wearing a helmet makes >you an idiot. Thinking you're safer because you wear a helmet doesn't!! Climbing Accidents in Australia What is of interest is that in 40.2% of rock climbing accidents the status of helmet wearing is known and the results strongly suggest helmet wearers are less likely to die... There is also a larger incidence of fractures and the like and fewer references to head injuries in cases where helmets were worn Climbing helmets are not an accessory It's a bit like not wearing a seatbelt when driving a car - you don't need a seatbelt when you're not having an accident.
