I rock climb. Wearing a helmet is stupid and more dangerous than not wearing one. It makes climbing much hard and makes you very likely to get pulled off the rock and provides almost no benefit ... right up until you're climbing in a place with lots of loose rock. Really, the solution isn't don't climb in those places, not wear a helmet. But if you do, wear a damn helmet. Despite it being MORE dangerous to do so, outdoor instruction places inevitably have their students wear a helmet in places with no loose rock. Because some people think protective gear is automatically safer.

We'll, now I'm curious. How does wearing the helmet make it more dangerous?
