Yes, cyclist die all the time with helmet on but many are saved because
of them. Period!


What do you know that the designers, testers and manufacturers of helmets
are missing?





What? Where is that question coming from?


You are making claims that those folks don't make.
Heck, some of those folks actually refute your claims.

Hence the question.

Let me reiterate so you get it.
Cyclist rides out in front of a bus wearing a helmet... most likely cyclist
dies with helmet on. Cyclist does a head plant into a boulder cracks /
crushes the helmet, cyclist has severe concussion, second degree shoulder
separation and scrapes and cuts on head but lives to ride another day
because he was wearing a helmet.


What is the basis for your claim? It's obvious
that you are unfamiliar with the forces that
helmets are designed to protect against.

This is my last post on the topic.


Perfect. Run away while still living in your
fantasy world where helmets are magical live
saving devices.

I never expected to win an argument with
someone who takes the stand that helmets do not save lives. It was hard for
me to let someone make such a statement and have it go not contested.


You didn't contest a thing, just reiterated some
common myths. Common sense indeed.

Do us all a favor and wear your helmet.


I usually do.

I'm just not naive enough to think that it was
designed to save my life.
