The problem with the turban is that it will detach from your head the instant you touch the ground, and in doing so might wrap around your neck.

I grew up in Punjab so I've seen probably hundreds of instances of turbans falling off during road accidents and general brawling. I've never heard of a turban wrapping itself around someone's neck as the result of a fall. They are tied in intricate designs, not just wrapped around the head like a scarf.

They can however easily fall off even before the person makes contact with the ground.
