Hi Vinny
I really don't have a "personal belief" regarding bicycle helmets. I was simply trying to introduce additional information. If I wanted to to form a "belief", I would look at both primary and secondary reearch on the subject, evaluate the experts opinion, and factor in my personal experience. I too wear a helmet because it seems like it may prevent injuries in some slow speed falls (not a face plant). The web site you noted is maintained by The Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute, probably not a disinterested third party. Please read some other articles to get a broader picture.
