Here is a bit of miscellaneous data on TBI accelerations. Here are some results and discussion re the Crasche hat. In short, I wonder whether the Crasche hat might put you at a bit more risk than otherwise, if you alieve that your head is protected but the hat will only reduce ~25% of the impact.

I keep a small first-aid kit in my daypack; as far as I've been able to tell, its presence doesn't increase my risk-taking behaviour. (Possibly even the opposite - I take a teensy bit of pride in not having actually needed to use it since I bought it, and want to continue that winning streak.)
