I agree that they cause more injuries than they prevent though. They're used as weapons.

As much as some people are saying to just get rid of helmets because it will cause people to avoid using their heads as weapons, that won't ultimately help.
The hard shell helmet was created to primarily avoid skull fractures, and removing helmets could very much increase the chance of skull fractures again because of accidental contact to the head with some other body part or the ground.

Some type of headgear is still needed because of this. And I think the Guardian Cap helps to protect from skull fractures but also absorbing impact to reduce concussions as described on the site. It's a better solution than just "going back to leather caps" or "no headgear at all".
