Helmets and Competitive Hill Climbs

[Dogtrousers]

Just in case you don't know there is a special fun-filled sub-forum for tit-for-tat about cycling titfers

You'll have to be more specific than that, please.

Meanwhile, to your earlier post:

A split helmet has done you negligible favours. Read the maker's spiel - they do NOT protect you in this way.

Now concussions: are you aware of what the makers' study showed about how well they prevent concussions?


I think that's very unlikely, as you've brought it up. My very own recent head-injury is a good a counter-anecdote as any. (How common were velodrome fatalities before modern helmets.) Prove it!

Mod Note:
As this thread has stopped discussing hill climbs in favor of discussing helmets, I shall move it to the moderated helmet section, changing the title.
If you like, you can restart another hill climbing thread, minus the helmet argument.
Cheers from the mods.
