Helmet quote from URCM

Quote from URCM posting by Simon Brooke:

"I had a fall on ice in February and concussed myself badly; next
winter
when the ice is about I shall wear a helmet. But I might get studded
tyres as well."

He obviously now believes that helmets help to protect cyclists from
serious head and brain injuries!

Surely not. Was that THE Simon Brooke? Has he had a bang on the head or
something?

You can see URCM from under your bridge, then?

Yes, because I am a signed up member of that news group, even if I do
get 'moderated' (i.e. censored) most of the time because of my pro-
helmet views.

Was that a competition to see how many fallacies you could get into a
single sentence? Well done if it was.

What fallacies would those be then?

1) I am a member of URCM and I have had some postings accepted,
including starting a thread on cycle helmets. Check back if you don't
believe me.

2) I have had about 10 postings moderated (rejected) on dubious
grounds.

3) I do believe that cycle helmets can prevent or minimise head and
brain injuries in many typical cycling accidents.

So no 'fallacies' there!

The usual ones. Start with the concept of how you "sign up" as a
"member" of a usenet group and work from there.

All he needs now is a hi-viz band or jacket.

I understand that Porky Chapman has had a bad bang. He was not
wearing a helmet. He suffered concussion at least.

But get this - he cannot pluck up courage to ride his bike - or even
go out in the car yet. (Unless thing have changed recently)

Just think - if only he had been wearing a helmet.

He could have said that you were not a ****wit for an extra point.
