If you were really concerned about safety, I mean really concerned, there are a million things you might not do - you probably wouldn't ride at all, whatever gear you may or may not choose to wear.

No-one takes every possible precaution* every time, so we may all equally be criticised for not doing everything to protect ourselves, the difference between t-shirt man, you and me is that the decision on what's 'right' in any circumstance might be different.

Which are our own individual choices, long may we all be able to make those choices for ourselves.

*No you don't, and you make mistakes and errors when you ride just like everyone else, fortunately most times they never come back to bite us.
