Strangely, the number of "helmet saved my life" anecdotes vastly

If the helmet was damaged and the head wasn't, then it is reasonable to
assume that in the absence of the helmet, the head would have been
damaged. That has to be a result.
No one has to wear a helmet, so why some people argue so strongly
against their use mystifies me.
(Arguing against compulsory helmet use is a valid stance to adopt.)
