[Unicorn]

I only wear a helmet when riding hard Muni or trials. I don't wear a
helment when riding cross country or on the street. I am 35 and started
riding a unicycle one year ago. I only bought my REMI helmet four
months ago, after I experienced how dangerous single tracks are.

[Rowan]

Age:

1996 I started riding

Helmet use:

I have worn a helmet a for Ken Looi's unicycle weekend and for two
offroad bike events where helmets were compulsory- Moonride and
Day/Night Thriller. I got away with not wearing my helmet in the last
couple of long distance road bike races cos I left my cobweb filled
helmet by the side of the road while hitch-hiking to Taupo, and I
couldn't be bothered replacing it. Apart from that I almost never wear
helmets- I wore one to practise wheel walking when I was new at it.
Maybe I'll get another helmet when I get a Coker. I've fallen off
plenty of times over the years and never yet needed one.

[johnfoss]

age: 44
year started: 1967 on bikes, 1979 on unicycles
helmet use: MUni, road riding (Coker) and racing, not for most other
riding
helmet started: I bought my first helmet in 1989, but that was for my
bike. I think I started using helmets for unicycling mostly when I got
into MUni, in the mid 1990s.

I'm one of the proponents of helmet use for MUni and high-speed racing
for two major reasons. First to protect all riders in the unlikely
event of a massive head/brain injury, and secondly to promote a
safety-conscious image for our sport. Whether the "need" for helmets is
as major as we think, images of our riders wearing them shows that we
unicyclists are thinking about what we're doing. Some countries have
less problem with liability/insurance than others, so the importance of
wearing one can be different from country to country.
