Are you suggesting skepticism at plastic hat benefits?

The mystic aura of the sacred foam hat will protect its wearer from
harm. However, medical insurance is helpful for those times when the
protective aura has been worn away by the curses, expletives, and
incantations of a more powerful sorcerer. The plastic hat works,
except when it doesn't.

I'm sure that there are those who believe bike helmets prevent up to 85%
of battle axe wounds!

Probably true. One of my friends has 3 sons, all of whom are involved
in a medieval battle re-enactment society, where the weapons are made
from foam. I believe a bike helmet should survive a blow from one of
these axes:

However, I'm not sure it will survive this axe:

because few things are stronger than duct tape.
