That's fine if your head would hit the ground first. If you have a common
situation where you land on another part of your body such as your shoulder,
that extra inch and a half would provide the difference between your head
hitting the helmet hitting the ground and your head not hitting the ground.
It is complicated. If it was simple then we'd all agree ;-)
