It's not how much money to spend on a helmet which protects your brain or your life. For many cavers around here, money is finite. This is why they go caving. It's cheap. Money spent does not equal safety.
If you use your brain (instead of just cover it) and learn how to move in a cave, and be aware every second of your footing, your surroundings and where your head is, then a helmet is useful, but it's the brain inside which counts!
