BM, was just wondering, with a recent bit of helmet debating etc, why you wear a cycle helmet when you are skating? I've been thinking about it and it doesn't make sense, especially when married to your anti-helmet stance.
The most common head impact from bicycle fall is the temple and sides of the head at temple height, the most common skating fall is the back of the head - an area given exceedingly little protection from a bicycle helmet, as it is extremely rare for it to be hit in a fall.
How come you don't wear a skate, "piss-pot" style helmet, which comes down over the back of your head?
