I've only just started wearing mine. Have to confess I hate it.

I have two friends who have been knocked out and air-lifted to trauma
centers (both last year) who still don't wear their helmets. Strangely, it
was their injuries that convinced me to wear my helmet, but it hasn't
changed their minds. Funny how that worked.

I think it's really hard for those who ride western to strap on those
helmets. Both of the friends I refer to above are western types and very
into that cowboy look. Not to many people roping or cutting wearing helmets!

Anybody going to confess that they don't wear a helmet?
