No. It's being against wearing a helmet when you're more than 50 feet out of the construction site where there's less than 0.02% chance of a nut falling on your head, killing you.
I don't want it because the odds of me dying of what it's supposed to protect me from are so fucking low that the benefits far outweigh the negatives.
worse, to keep with your metaphor, the helmet is made out of a single layer of cotton, and won't protect you even if the nut does hit you.
