If you don't maybe you should Today's road ride was cut short today when 5 of us approached a gate on a local gated road 2 cyclists were just coming up the hill and had the gate open, the numpty holding the gate waved us on and then let the gate go. Unfortunately I was on the outside of 2 and as the gate swung closed it hooked my bars and over the bars landing nicely on my head. New helmet needed I think.

 pah! I don't think you would have sustained any injury if you hadn't been wearing one. They're overrated and arguably dangerous in themselves in that they can impair visibility etc.

They also give you a false sense of security so you end up taking more risks than you would have had you just had a knotted handkerchief on your head instead.

The same can be said of seatbelts.
|
|
(in cars that is, not on a bike - that'd just be idiotic wouldn't it?)
|
|
I take the seat belts out of any cars I buy. I also put a small spike in the middle of the steering wheel just to keep me on my toes.

I bet you drive a lot more carefully don't you?

Only when I'm not on my phone...or after a few beers.

 I removed the brakes from my car for obvious safety reasons, but to compensate have made a hole in the floor where I can use my feet to drag me to a stop.
Am getting through a sizeable quantity of shoes at present though, so may reconsider.

You could just do what I've seen kids on BMX's do and jam your foot on the rear tyre to stop ?

Gates stop you quicker FACT
