Why the mention of the bicycle foam hat?

Mountain biking is routinely dangerous whereas hiking is not. It is
interesting to read about hikers coming to a bad end, but it is not
interesting to read about mountain bikers coming to a bad end. That is
because all mountain biking accidents are pretty much the same. See the
movie "Gerry" to know what I am talking about.
