+Philip Wright I don't have a choice in the matter (Provincial Law) though I suspect I would wear a helmet anyway in most conditions.
Interestingly, in the two bad spills I've had in my life, I wasn't wearing a helmet (1 motorcycle, 1 bicycle). I always considered myself lucky to have not had a head injury. After reading this I wonder if it wouldn't have been worse if I'd been wearing a helmet (one of his cases directly applied to both of my spills).
Really, I think the more important point being made is that it needs to be left to the individual to make the decision for their scenario.
