Michael wrote: I'm willing to bet I'd either be dead or drooling on myself if I didn't have that helmet on. And I'm willing to bet you wouldn't. Why? Because the absolutely _tremendous_ rise in bike helmet use hasn't caused a significant change in serious head injuries per cyclist. In fact, if anything, there are more head injuries per cyclist than before. If all these helmets are really doing what you believe, the benefits should be detectable. There's been an increase in red-light running and other reckless behavior, plus a huge increase in the average vehicle size, all of which make cycling more dangerous than before. With a large vehicle, you are far more likely to have you head hit in primary impact then when the vehicle is small enough that you can see over it. And the larger size cuts your sight lines considerably. And that's been going on during the same time period that helmet use increased. Much more likely, IMO: all these helmets are producing stories that go like this: "Wow, dude, my helmet touched the ground!!! It must have saved my life!!!" This is typical Krygowksi bull**** - putting words in people's mouths. In fact, I've never seen him reply to a post in which someone reported an incident where a helmet might have helped without discounting the helmet. Not *one* incident whatsoever. -- My real name backwards: nemuaZ lliB |

Interesting conjecture. But I see you've posted no evidence to support it - as usual. Now's the time for you to post some evidence of both the increase in red light running, and the increased cycling danger. I think what would suffice for the latter would be data showing an increase in serious injuries to parts of the body other than the head, significantly greater than the increase in serious head injuries. So, Bill: Got data? -- --------------------+ Frank Krygowski [To reply, remove rodent and vegetable dot com, replace with cc.ysu dot edu] |

In 1996, Clinton got 49% of the vote, a plurality, but not a majority. I don't remember anyone saying he had no mandate to pursue his announced policies. Do you remember Clinton _claiming_ he had a mandate? If so, you should give a quote. If not, quit making yourself look foolish.

On Sat, 06 Nov 2004 19:41:17 -0500, Frank Krygowski claims: [Ken NY:] Sorry, Sir, but I did not send it off into a political thread, I just followed it, due to my simplistic thinking, I guess. We commoners are like that. [fk:] Bull****, Ken. This thread was about a helmet bill in Canada. You most certainly did send it off into a political thread. Certainly, you can't be _ignorant_ of that fact! [Ken NY:] Well, I was refering to something a gentleman wrote in another thread: That was obvious. You made a fool of yourself by bringing that topic unbidden into _this_ thread, then pretending you didn't. If you're not capable of keeping your conversations straight, you should either take notes or stop posting. BTW, I note the propensity of hard-ass right wingers to save all their forgiveness for themselves. What ever happened to personal responsibility? What ever happened to owning up to ones' mistakes? Are those are only for other folks? Now perhaps you should return to the topic of the thread - or better, some simpler bike-related topic. The simpler the topic, the less trouble you'll have. -- --------------------+ Frank Krygowski [To reply, remove rodent and vegetable dot com, replace with cc.ysu dot edu] |

Bill Z. Wrote: My guess is that Jones is a Bush supporter---he's sufficiently out of touch with the real world. Any bets? Bill -- My real name backwards: nemuaZ lliB To quote a phrase from Ronald Reagan (and no Zilly Bill - that does, not make me a republican - I'm not an American anyway - but that's beside the point) "Well there you go again!" Bill Zauman has this repetitious tendency that he seems to need to make irrelevant swipes at someone he doesn't agree with. Crawl back into your hole Zauman - you're a first rate incorrigible jerk. Oh from what you've demonstrated on other threads Im sure that it's clear to a lot of other readers that if there's anyone who's out of touch with the real world, Billy boy, it's you - you win hands down.

DT Wrote: I think many parents and youth are simply unaware of the inherent dangers of sport and the benefits if wearing helmets as was the cace with seatbelts. The law will change all. I think that you're obviously unaware of the fact that the so called "benefits if wearing helmets" is nothing but an illusion fostered by over-anxious and credulous people. As to dangers, there everywhere but you need to keep some perspective and proportion. Before you start dictating that cyclists need to wear them lets start with the groups of people engaged in the activities where most head injuries occur. Yes, let's get motorists and pedestrians to wear them first - set a good example and all that sort of stuff. But no, that would never happen would it? Why not - there's the all- too-human hypocrisy creeping in - don't people just love to poke their self righteous noses into other peoples affairs "you should do this!" But what if there's even more justification for them to take a dose of the medicine that they so dogmatically prescribe for others - different story then isn't it? Busybody bigots and hypocrites. Futhermore, the last thing Cycling needs is a fearmongering campaign, turning an infrequent bugbear into an overblown bogey purely to scare people into wearing a head decoration that simply doesn't do anything like what it's cracked up to do. The reality about helmets is that they are more symbolic than protective. Roger -- RogerDodger |
