Pleased to be of service :-) Remember risk management 101: first, reduce risk at source. Second, reduce exposure to risk. Third, and only if 1 and 2 fail, use personal protective equipment.

Dan Wrote: One last question, how do you get a statistic on how many people may have been saved by using a helmet? You can't possibly know, because they weren't a fatality. If I'm riding and T-bone a car, hit my helmeted noggin' and there is no injury except my poor busted helmet (pocketbook injury) and mangled wheel, where's the report that says, 'here is an accident that could have been fatal but he was wearing a helmet'. Won't be one! Well of course not- are you totally stupid? (Oh, that's right, you are!) You don't get accident reports based on what people believe might have otherwise happened - god we'd be inundated with imaginative stories of what people *believe* would have happened. I was abducted by an alien while I was asleep and underwent surgery on their spacecraft - it's true and I want to file a report! Dan, you take the cake as the most deluded dimwit I've had occasion to witness. -- RogerDodger |
