Tumbleweed Posted June 5, 2013 Share http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/do-bike-helmet-laws-really-save-people/2013/06 When I was a high school senior, I ended up in the hospital after the front wheel of my bicycle fell off when I caught some air on a curb. I landed smack on my face, breaking my jaw, chin and nose. I never recovered any memory of the crash or the 30 minutes or so immediately afterward. I was not wearing a helmet.

Kranky Posted June 5, 2013 Share Wearing no helmet makes sense when commuting in a commuter friendly cities e.g. Amsterdam. And I think this kind of riding is what much of the no helmet debate is actually focussing on. There is no chance I'd ride my local trail without covering on my pip. P.S. I read somewhere that the percentage of injuries in car accidents being head injuries is only slightly lower than that measured in cycling injuries. Why no helmets for cars? It's all about perceived risk ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
