I might also suggest that many mountain bikers wear protective gear. It's not a lot, but a helmet could save a life... these guys don't wear helmets.
So I take it that you would see this differently if these guys wore helmets?? Which, as more people get into Free Running I'm sure is something that will happen soon.
