As I said BM, I'm relying on my own common sense and throwing my hands up in the air regarding the helmet research on either side, I get the unsavoury suspicion that there's agenda involved sometimes from the tone of some of them
And how on earth can you make that statement about Risk Compensation, other than my brain assessing risk continually, I'm sure I don't ride any more dangerously in hi viz and helmet, I've got a very healthy fear of having an accident and I'm not cutting any corners because I'm wearing it, if you wear something every single day, you're barely aware you're wearing it anyway seems to me
the cracked skull was 'possible', I'd somersaulted over a car doing over 25mph as I recall with the side of my head being the first thing to touch the road on the other side, maybe it wouldn't have cracked my skull, it's an inch thick from various knocks over my life, but I was still very glad to be wearing it
