My helmet saved me, and broke

Ian has presented many logical arguements which you seem to have skimmed
past. Are you saying that a helmet can not do you harm? It can...

Helmets don't necessarily cause harm to you the whole time you are
wearing it, but if there is a chance that when your head is in trouble
that the helmet could cause a worse injury than what it might prevent,
then what is the point in being such a helmet nazi? I believe Cycle
helmets would perform their job better for bicyclists than unicyclists
due to the speeds at which crashes occur.

If there are no stats to say unicyclists are being killed left right
and center because of not wearing helmets, then why are we wearing
them?

Unicycling is relatively safe! Keep it simple.

I CBA to read this whole thread again, but I can see at least two posts
that Ian made on 29/08/05 where he did just that.

I also CBA to go through all the arguments again. After 15 years of
following this debate I am bored, bored, bored with it. I still regard
it as important to fight against well-meaning imbeciles who would like
Parliament to remove my freedom to cycle without a helmet, but usenet
is not the place to do that. Even if it were, debating with
Leftpondians goes nowhere towards achieving it. Rather than going
through the arguments, I'll point once again to
http://www.cyclehelmets.org/

My own thoughts, to save me having to retype them whenever I decide to
contribute to a helmet thread, are at
http://www.redpedals.co.uk/danny/cycling/ghd.html

BTW, the "occupation" listed at
http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/member.php?u=7871 seems rather comical
under the circumstances.

If anyone was with Maestro as part of his "us" they probably just
abandoned his cause if they were to look up his 'homo clowns'

Yeah, helmets are good.

I've never actually hit my head due to falling off of a unicycle, but I
did hit my head on a low tunnel while riding my 36 and I was glad to be
wearing one.

Accidents happen.
