Stand-by. ****wit magnet launched. It's already attracted you! And you also - The evidence is compelling for mandatory head protection..... Apart from the complete lack of any real-world benefits to cyclists of increased helmet wearing rates. Anywhere. Ever. There are two possibilities that may lead to this. Either helmets don't actually make any real difference, Or, they cause as much damage as they prevent. Wearing a protective helmet causes damage? Of course it does dear. **** me you become more stupid every day. There were ****s like you arguing against compulsory seat belts in the 1980's. They used equally idiotic arguments that were entirely false. So we wouldn't find you arguing against the compulsory use of helmets in cars? http://www.monash.edu.au/muarc/reports/atsb160.pdf "The results of this investigation indicate that there is considerable potential for reducing the severity and the consequence of brain injuries by padding the upper interior of the passenger compartment. However, an even greater level of protection is provided by the use of protective headwear." "The use of protective headwear by car occupants in Australia could potentially reduce the number of fatalities and cases of brain injuries to at least the same extent as the use of helmets by pedal cyclists and motorcyclists.. This is partly due to the higher level of exposure among vehicle occupants." -- Dan |
