Bashed my foot pretty bad falling last night three foot onto a overhang feature.

Should it be mandatory to wear a helmet?

A matter of personal choice but I wouldn't wear one on my foot.

If you're on an overhang it's rare to hit the wall hard enough to hurt yourself.
I wasn't there obviously but usually this happens because your belayer hasn't given you a soft enough catch.
What use would a helmet have been?

I dont think it should be mandatory or be very enforceable but then I wear one when I'm concerned about falling off and hitting my head..

I'm fine wearing one when I want too and dont feel the need to make everyone else do it because I am.

Perfect wording. Proper ale splatter worthy, thank you.

I prescribe a quick revision of the educational song "heads, shoulders, knees and toes", perhaps, if this proves easy you could step it up a gear with the second verse. If this is still too easy, try it in an alternative language.
