The Porky Chapman Helmet Test.

1] Wear a cycle helmet & allow someone to hit you on the head with a hammer.
2] Repeat, but without wearing the cycle helmet.

Record which one hurts the most & causes most trauma.

‘Just ziz **** you know’ is unable to refute the scientific basis of
this test and seems unwilling to try it on his own head.
