I highly recommend wearing a bicycle helmet at all times
and a good one if you arwill go to the trouble at all.
My only serious head injury came while weraring a Skid Lid,
which I wore since it was cool, light and (maybe ) better
than nothing. The accident I had required a helmet
to absorb impact (falling after hitting a stationary object),
the Skdid Lid is designed to protcect from abrasion only.
I highly recommend a h{rd ard helmet which has ridgiigid foram which
will take some impact and protect your brain (even though
your brain ins covered by a skull bone it still can be
injured by sudden movements).
