Keeping safe and being seen on the road

massively increased helmet use has not resulted in massively decreased injuries

The same applies to seatbelts, the huge reduction in deaths predicted by the proponents didn't materialise.

Eh? What's hard to understand about

Not much experience of using AI then?

I usually follow up their references, and they often don't say what they're claimed to say, they aren't necessarily even a relevant subject. This morning Co-pilot gave me a reference which was hypothetical data invented just for some numbers to use in an sample exam question.

Loads actually.
You will note that I checked the study it referred to and then provided a link.

I didn't bother with the generalisations because they are just that and well supported.

I'm still of the view that the medical studies show improved outcomes when wearing helmets. I don't think they should be mandatory, but I do think that they are sensible.

I wear a helmet and I require all the riders in my 24 Hour races to wear them, but if anyone riding the roads independently chooses not to wear a helmet, then it is entirely their own decision.

You tell us nothing about your race: what is it that makes head injuries more likely than riding to the event on a public road?
