Helmet laws???

Searching the internet, I found this much information:

231. A bicycle is a device upon which any person may ride,
propelled exclusively by human power through a belt, chain, or gears,
and having one or more wheels. Persons riding bicycles are subject
to the provisions of this code specified in Sections 21200 and
21200.5.



467. (a) A "pedestrian" is any person who is afoot or who is using
any of the following:
(1) A means of conveyance propelled by human power other than a
bicycle.
(2) An electric personal assistive mobility device.
(b) "Pedestrian" includes any person who is operating a
self-propelled wheelchair, motorized tricycle, or motorized
quadricycle and, by reason of physical disability, is otherwise
unable to move about as a pedestrian, as specified in subdivision
(a).
(c) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2008, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2008, deletes or extends
that date.


This information all came from http://tinyurl.com/f8kh



So I was wondering, does this mean you are not legally forced to wear a
helmet while unicycling?

A pedestrian doesn't have to wear a helmet to walk, and a unicyclist is
technically a pedestrian so should you have to wear one to ride a
unicycle? (Oh, just to make things clear, these are the California
state laws...sorry Canadians)


Any help/answers you can give me is appreciated, as I want to ride my
uni in town today, but my helmet is currently broken.


Thank you!
