Well, helmets really do help tremendously in the majority of impacts with no injuries whatsover. Just at the extremes, they result in concussions instead of death!
Whenever someone brings up the weight or comfort issue, I hand them a helmet and say, "Here try this on, you won't even notice it's on." As I surreptitiously reach for baseball bat and give'em a solid WHACK on helmet! Then I say, "Let's try that again without the helmet!!!". No one ever does...
