nickname for BHIT?
 

Following on from the silly names contest for Fat Eric, I thought it might
be fun to do the same for those honest, upstanding moral bankrupts, BHIT.

I'll start;

People Obsessed Over Helmets - POOH

or

People Obsessed Over Cycle Helmets - POOCH

Me too. But they CHOSE those initials. I sometimes wonder if they
aren't in it purely for the gravy train, or perhaps as a sort of test
of gullibility.

Why not Cycle Helmet Association, or Protected Head and Rider Trust,
or Anti-Cycle Head Injury Society - all eminently pronounceable as
initials.

Because they're not interested in protecting heads or preventing head
injuries, they're interested in promoting helmets. You can't make a
profit out of fewer injuries, but you can make a profit out of more
helmets.

I don't think that's right either. What is clear is that helmet compulsion
for some unknown reason increases your chance of being hit and having a head
injury. Therefore I think the BeHIT name is entirely appropriate. The main
outcome is to increase the chances that you BeHIT. The B**** is the way they
try to achieve it.

PHaRT - hmm ;-)

Interestingly, while talking to my mum about cycle helmets, she (as a
horse-rider of the past - not ridden for 5 years or so) mentioned that
not only did she think cycle helmets gave quite a lot of protection,
especially in the bike/car type incident, but that the horse riding
fraternity were actively looking at making riding helmets more like bike
helmets (ventilation holes, lighter, etc).

Horse-riding helmets (good ones) these days resemble more motorbike
helmets, because they protect the (apparently) thinnest part of the
skull, which is at the rear as it slopes back down and under to meet the
neck. Cycle helmets leave this area utterly unprotected. Horse-riding
helmets also have a much stronger outer shell - not this
lucky-if-it's-1mm-thick shell that cycle helmets have over the polystyrene.

Gave her something to think about, when I demonstrated just how they're
actually constructed, and the horse-riding bunch are already aware that
getting a sharp branch/pole/spike through a vent hole is a Very Bad Thing..
