Ha! Gloves have saved my ass more times than helmets. Gloves allow you to use your hands to save your ass. After wearing them for a while you'll not hesitate to use your hands in a crash. Judging from my helmets, my head has never touched the ground. Even cheap gloves will do the trick. I've been rolling with these for years. You can get them up for about $10. I've seen them at BSS for $12. Even after all this summer (below), they're still going strong.
Used to MTB 'core so, many spills on rocky surfaces, etc. I would never have dreamt of riding without protection on my palms (except for the hair - ba-dump-bup). I ride pretty aggressively sometimes. This summer alone: I've laid my bike down to avoid a drop-off, dropped the bike while screwing around w/ fixed maneuvers, failed to stick a 10' boost (23mm tires), endo'ed over a hazard, and last week had a front tire blowout at 20 mph from which I was very fortunate to walk away (er, spend 5 hrs. repairing things on the roadside).
