Do people not read through a thread before replying?

You writing FACT after a sentence does not make it a fact.

If we want to evaluate a public health intervention we look at the evidence. And the evidence is quite clear that helmets do not have a statistically significant effect at reducing head injuries.

And you still haven't answered why you want to prevent head injuries in cyclists but not in pedestrians.

I does due to the FACT i have impacted the floor and survived via a HELMET - a fantastic design/technological achievement

You can shove statistics where the sun don't shine - i am a working example - of wearing a helmet and surviving.

I think all he wants to do is get everyone dancing to his tune and he seems to have done that quite successfully.

I have said extensively - im making a point nothing more - i'm arguing the point, which a few here arent comprehending at all. sadly for themselves.

Do you think there was any long-term damage from your head injury?

You survived when you impacted your head as a child when you weren't wearing a helmet, this is the third time I've asked you to explain how you managed such a feat, any chance of an answer?

Eh? Indulge me for a second. Let's take an imaginary oversimplified place with a population of 2000. Half of them cycle everywhere (I'm an idealist). None of them wears a helmet. Out of these 1000 cyclists here are 10 head injuries a year, every year for five years. A mandatory helmet law is suddenly introduced. 200 people don't like wearing helmets, so they stop cycling. Suppose that, in the five years following the introduction of the law, there are 8 head injuries each year. What does this tell you?

It tells me that you didnt read my post.

The reports of helmeted riders having more accidents may be borne out by lay's touching but misguided faith in plastic hats, let's hope his over-confidence doesn't result in risk compensation and an accident in which lay is well and truly FACT.

I've been cycling for 25yrs and had 3 crashes...

Thank you Glenn Forger for this touching and personal insinuation - may every degree of hatred be with you
