Helmets - Should you? and Which?

[Evil Twin]

Helmet Fire I'm not trying to make a point that motorcycle helmets are more protective than purpose designed helicopter helmets. They may be we'll probably never know. My point is this:-

1. Do I think helmets are a good idea? YES
2. Do I have $1000's of dollars to buy one? NO
3. Would I buy one if I had the $'s YES
4. Would a motorcycle helmet properly converted provide more protection than merely a headset? YES
5. Is some protection better than none? YES

I'm not trying to be argementative, I'm just of the opinion that any form of protection is better than none at all, and that affordable protection used by a higher % of people because it's affordable produces a net gain in safety.
