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? Cars are a safe & viable form of transport. They have crumple zones, airbags, seat belt tensioners etc. So yes, we would find you arguing, pot kettle black, Very hard to seriously injure yourself in a RTC. Very easy to injure yourself falling off a push bike. In 2009 there were 143,412 car users casualties, 11,112 KSI .... http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roadsafety...fatalcar76.pdf "Survival up to the time of discharge of people without head injuries is very high (about 96%) and there is limited room for improvement. However, for head injuries the position is not so good, with around a quarter of patients dying" http://www.dft.gov.uk/adobepdf/16246.../rrcgb2009.pdf "Around 2 out of every 5 people killed or seriously injured are car occupants" Are you really saying you wouldn't like these figures improved, and don't accept that a helmet could in anyway help ? -- Dan |

No. I'm saying you are a complete & utter ****ing idiot. Cars are intrinsically safe, push bikes are utter stupidity. Stop trying to think, its clearly beyond your intellectual capacity - you are a cyclist. Like ****ing hell. Push bikes are ****ing great. -- 67.4% of statistics are made up. |
