Buzzy ,,,, yep I use a helmet (on my head), have done for many years and still wonder why people sail without one.
My first sail with a helmet paid for itself as I made contact with a reef!
Tried one...throws my balance off. Besides that I like the wind in what little hair I have left.....Thankfully there are no " Nannas" at the beach to make us wear one. Unlike everywhere else where our wellbeing is so thoughtfully controlled.
Risk is accepted and part of the excitement! A smack on the head is a reminder of ones ability or lack there of! Be more cautious next time.
