The Persistent Time Wasting of Timmie McNamara
RBT's permanent straggler, Tim McNamara wrote:
the real discussion, which is "do helmets reduce the incidence or prevalence of brain injuries among bicyclists?" Good heavens, Timmie, have you still not got it? See, the major New York study of eight years of cycling fatalities and serious accidents, almost 4000 serious cycling accidents, found among other things that: • Most fatal crashes (74%) involved a head injury. • Nearly all bicyclists who died (97%) were not wearing a helmet. • Helmet use was only 3% in fatal crashes, but 13% in non-fatal crashes Source: http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/download...ike-report.pdf The implication is clear: helmets save lives. Surely it follows, even to you, that if lives are saved, then brain injuries must be prevented too. I've printed and reprinted a full report on RBT and other cycling conferences again and again and can't understand why you haven't seen it yet; you must be deliberately avoiding the truth. Again. That's your choice of course, but why do you waste so much of our time with your blindness?
