1980 for me, sliding my bike under a car that pulled out in front of me didn't do it. Having my pregnant girlfriend, now wife, demand that I wear one did the job. It prefer one now.
Last year, an acorn sized rock got flung off a tire and took out the polycarbonate visor on my helmet. The visor stopped the rock; but was no longer transparent afterwards. I'm not sure what would have happened if it had hit my face, instead.
I wear a full faced, Snell approved helmet, leather jacket, gloves and boots every time I ride. However, I fully support your right to be a moron if you choose.
