Wow.. well he will not be shaving for a wile...
I checked out the site Tyler.. for those of you with a weak stomach do not DO NOT.. visit it..
I looked at pretty much all pics on their.. I could almost feel the pain of others..
I have that problem sometimes at school, where the people in my group in my food and nutrition science class like to get crap out of the cubbords and leave the dors open.
Well, the simple solution is stop bumping your noggins.
But in all seriousness, I chatted with some friends (a couple from NASA) about this as I have the same conserns, (as being new to the Sly look does raise questions) and asked them about this scenario. All came up with the same thing.
- If you hit your head, the level of pain is the same whether you have hair or not
- Hair is not the magical "Helmet" as it may seem to be. The level of hurt and injury is the same.
- Bald people with a head injury have an advantage over those with hair, as they can be assessed easier with the extent of the wound and emergency crews can take action quicker. Heck, they'd shave it off anyways. Save them the trouble!
If you can tell me any disadvantage, let me know.

Spoken like someone who has not yet bumped his bald noggin against anything! Trust me, the level of pain is NOT the same, and having hair DOES provide some protection against injury.
I don't know about padding, but hair does give you an early warning system.
One thing that I have noticed is that (for the most part) I seem to be more conciously protective of my noggin. Before going SLY, I was continually knocking my head on things (yes I have been known to be somewhat clumsy). It seemed like I could not mow the yard without scraping my head on low tree branches or hitting in on low haning light fixtures. I am a little under 6'. Except for the one incident with my son in the swimming pool, there have not been any incidents. Anyone else notice being more (subconciously) protective and careful?
I know. Now that I've written this....just watch out....
I knocked my noggin yesterday. me and the son were heading out to go fishing...and i opened the back window and lowered the tail gate..i had climbed inside and when i was gettin out i knocked it on the frame...DAMN THAT HURT. This morning I woke up and there is a sore spot ..no blood but sort of a scab there. so yeah..i had to be careful in the shower this morning ..shaving the dome
I just whacked my melon on the corner of a cabinet door...ouch
gut a nice gash now...

I've done that a few times. I also whacked my head against the corner of one of those windows that crank out (I was just outside it). Thank God I had a ball cap on for sun protection or I would have had a really bad gash.
Hope your dome heals up quickly.
