Every time I've fallen off, I've felt pain; in my back, in my shoulder, etc. depending on how I fell. However, I wouldn't consider those injuries since the pain subsided after a few days and didn't require a trip to the doctor. Others may call those injuries. Maybe we are all just stoic badasses.

Because I'm not buying a helmet that isn't certified and/or doesn't fit. That being said I would be interested in seeing how long the person who has never fallen off has ridden. My first thought was well they haven't ridden long enough. Can't wait to see more!
