Do all bicycle users spend their time trying to perform stunts?

The youngster had not been wearing a helmet because he thought he

Stupid is as stupid does as cyclists do. Probably council estate
scum. Most cyclists are council estate scum.

Well quite, if someone believes that a device worn over the top of the
head protects the face. No different to you then.

Indeed, if he did a face plant wearing a helmet the protruding brow of the helmet could have snapped his head back and broken his neck. This appears to be a case of not wearing a helmet saved his life.
