Safety should always be an issue, no matter where. One of the problems
with bicycle helmets is that many are ill designed. According to a friend
who worked at a Hospital's emergency, the helmets would save your head
but snap the nek where the helmet ended. This is of course annoying. 
She figured that you are better of without a helmet than with a bad helmet.
(outside of traffic that is.)
