in reply to Perlmonk's "best pratices" in the real world

I see all these "best practices" like riding a motorbike with a helmet. Of course riding also is fun without a helmet, as long as I don't crash, but the helmet isn't there for the driving but for when a driver dosen't see me or when I miss a curve. Wearing a helmet is distracting, but if I'm going on any trip longer than 5 minutes, I'm gonna wear one. And also, it's the law to carry a helmet with you while riding a motorbike...

    Having been in a motorcycle accident where a helmet saved my life (speed wobble caused by a mechanical fault in the front end), I believe in wearing a helmet. The leather jacket I was wearing saved my torso from some serious road rash (my knees, chin and rear end were not so lucky).

    My point?

    The safeguards are there for your protection. Avoid them at your own risk. You life may depend on it. Mine did.
