Angel Helmets...

Hello all, I'm thinking of buying a helmet, should i buy an Alpha or a Gentex?



Haha, just kidding with you, I've been through this thread from page 1 to 27 and that Q has been discussed to death

My question is this:

I have an old collegue of mine who hates helmets and refuses to wear one. He is constantly trying to convince others not to wear one either.

His reason is that helmets, even the new modern light ones, are to heavy, and that in almost any crash the weight of them will crush your neck. And that is a fact according to him.

Have any of you seen any evidence that the weight of an helmet may be harmful to the extent that they should not be worn ? Have you heard these arguments from other pilots ?
