Sarcasm aside: wearing a helmet causes riders to take more risks, leading to more accidents.

I’d still wear one, but also try to be more careful knowing that the helmet provides a false sense of security.
I do believe the analogy holds very true with programming habits.

> this systematic review found little to no support for the hypothesis bicycle helmet use is associated with engaging in risky behaviour.
What! You’re lying!
