I'm not convinced. I've seen plenty of people wearing full face helmets in their scooters just fine. They're a little heavy and hot (which is why cyclists don't wear them), but it's absolutely not to the extent that it's creating more danger than it prevents.

@Zagorath If you say so. Maybe it's just me.
