As a personal thought, to crush your head in a collision, I doubt very much a helmet is going to mitigate the damage very much.biscuitdunker wrote: »Would you rather your child was less fit and alive, or cycled and had his head crushed in a collision with a car?Fight Crime : Shoot Back.
It's the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without being seduced by it.

I had an interesting discussion with someone about this today.
He said that if you look at people involved in accidents then in most cases a helmet will help. The cases where it doesn't are where the extra leverage due to the helmet increases twisting injuries to the head.
However, he had looked at the data for a larger population and it appeared that the risk-compensation effect meant that it was a bit 50-50 as to whether helmet wearing made things better or worse as to the probability of injury.Happy chappy0 -

Hmmmm. Moped riders with a top speed of 30mph- helmets by law.
Freakybacon mountain bike on slick tyres downhill- cycle computer recorded top speed of 46.9mph(could not verify this as I had a few other things on my mind at the time)... helmets optional."In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act. "
