Hairy Jock said:But there is no evidence that if she had been wearing a helmet it would have made any difference. Donald Dewar tripped and banged his head while walking, but one goes around saying he wouldn't have died if had being wearing a helmet...
It is just irrational, to suggest that everyone who has suffered a head injury should have been wearing a helmet...
I should of made my 8 yo keep his on when after he came back from school yesterday... he did fell over a wall and landed head first on tarmac whilst playing. Hopefully he will have learnt to show the wall a bit more respect.
I was a bit worried this morning when he chose to sleep in by 20 mins which he never ever does.
I do think that a change in the law would be of more benifit than helmets in protecting cyclists and other road users too (I presume the law in Holland applies to pedestrians too?).
