Worst case the cycle helmet force field would have prevented the crash. You seem to be misremembering the assertions made by those opposing the compulsory *and* voluntary use of cycle helmets (the latter on the basis that they did not want such use to be more widely accepted). Assertions made were that the cyclist was at less risk of head injuries in a collision if not wearing a cycle helmet (as counter-intuitive as that may be). The mechanics of this were never fully explained (pace a reference to "rotational forces" and another to the thickness of the helmet structure), leaving those of us who are not immediately familiar with such items to the sole logical conclusion that the cyclist without a helmet would manage to keep his head the crucial couple of centimetres away from collision with the asphalt or street furniture, with a force-field indeed being the only means of protection. Simple mechanics provides the explanation - for those with a comprehension of simple mechanics. For those that don't, it might as well be a force field. So you are right and all the professional advice is wrong? What professionals? That's more like it: deny, deny, deny. Asking for a friend. Obviously. |
