I think my perspective is partly informed by the fact that I see helmets as a fundamentally second-line defence (I never wore one myself when I cycled, partly because once I've got one on I can't take it off and appear in public until I've washed my hair, which renders anything bar sports cycling pointless, and in any case I don't cycle at the moment), so it was weird to see someone in that, but not in the lights, which I'd regard as a definite first-line.
The horse-rider is pretty impressively irresponsible.
