Thank you so much for this analogy. This reminded me how I’ve always bike without a helmet, even though I’ve been in crashes and hits before, it just isn’t in my nature to worry about safety in the same way others do I guess? People do be different and it’s all about your relationship with managing and tolerating risk.

(I am not saying one way is better than the other, it’s just different modes of engaging with risk. I obviously understand that having a helmet can and would save my life should an accident occur. The keyword here is “should/would/can” which some people believe in “shall/will/does” and prefer to live this way. Call it different faith or belief systems I guess)
