Midway and no helmet? Dude, given how you attack others' photos, I can only conclude that this is an accident... Jun 16, 2014

Tony B...conclude, surmise, infer, deduce all you like, but that isn't my cranium that's in danger, in the photo. I for one, have enough sense to put on a helmet. Indeed, as you yourself said, this is an accident (waiting to happen)?, but alas only where you ASSUMED that was a photo of me.
Attacking? Hardly! I have simply come to the same conclusion that most intelligent practitioners have...that helmets save lives. Be offended or in denial...its your life. It's just a suggestion, not a criticism. Peace.

MY HELMET SAVED MY LIFE. STORY NO.1 PRESENTED BY PETZL

The author saved by his helmet.

The author saved by his helmet.
"On August 28, 2010, I was climbing a technically easy multi-pitch trad route near Banff, Canada, with my partner, when I fell while leading. I don’t know what caused the fall—perhaps a hold broke, perhaps I simply slipped; that moment has been wiped from my memory—but I plunged about 20 meters, hitting various hard obstacles on the way down and losing consciousness in the process.

When I awoke, my partner phoned to arrange a helicopter rescue, and I’ve been recovering since, first in hospital and now at home. While I sustained fairly severe injuries, I’m extremely fortunate that those comprised only scrapes, bruises, and broken bones, all of which will heal in due course.

My helmet is another story. It fared far worse than I did, as it absorbed blows from one or more of those hard objects I encountered on my sudden descent."
