I have to politely disagree.
In all my years riding and playing on toys, I know I would rather have my head moving and possibly hitting dirt rather than being slung into a welded piece of steel, that has zero give. If you are that concerned with head movement and possible injuries, then wear one of
these, or
these, or stay home.
Also, on helmets, make sure you are wearing AT LEAST a DOT approved full face or 3/4 helmet and eye protection. A SNELL approved helmet is better, but DOT impact certification should not be looked past. These provide the impact cushion needed to prevent damage to your skull, including concussions, brain damge and death.
The most important thing is a PROPERLY INSTALLED AND TIGHTENED HARNESS. I personally like the 5 point variety due to the anti-submarine belt, which keeps you in the seat, and keeps the belt where it needs to be.
