To be fair, I must also point you to the rabidly pro-helmet "Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute", www.bhsi.org This "institute" (named Randy Swart) is working to make it illegal for anyone of any age to ride a bike at any time without a helmet. I quote: "The Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute supports carefully drawn mandatory helmet laws covering all age groups." And Randyt thinks that stopping using the Thompson, Rivara and Thompson figure of 85% efficacy would be "unhelpful" despite it's being derived by comparing entirely different populations and ascribing all the difference to helmet use. In other words, he is a True Believer :-) Guy -- May contain traces of irony. Contents liable to settle after posting. http://www.chapmancentral.co.uk 88% of helmet statistics are made up, 65% of them at Washington University |
