I thought helmets stopped facial injuries?
According to the eminent and super-qualified Aussie researcher that Marie
posted recently. Seems not. PS - the comments mention "cage drivers" - do motorcyclists refer to car drivers in this way as well? http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/new...on_with_lorry/ -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/ |

You have completely misunderstood the significance of this story. This was a head-on collision between a motorcyle and an HGV on an open road - a combined closing speed of 100mph perhaps. If he survived with "sustained serious facial injuries, although they are not believed to be life threatening" then he would certainly have died without a helmet. If you think that any other sensible conclusion can be drawn, then you're a fool. These comments sound very familiar. skyewalker , Darlington says... 9:52am Thu 4 Aug 11 "When are these Bikers going to learn, we often travell along that road but in the summer its full of Bikers speeding along on the wrong side of the road.I feel sorry for the poor lorry driver.Bikers should be banned from these roads." -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/ |

To be fair to bikers, it does just seem to be the weekend power rangers who ride like they're in the SBK. 'Proper' bikers, round here anway, always seem fine. |

If you think that any other sensible conclusion can be drawn, then you're a fool. And I don't think anyone with a brain cell would expect a visor to protect against much more than flies and small stones. The actual helmet is many times more protective than the visor, so no surprise that he "only" suffered facial, rather than head, injuries. Without a helmet in a head-on collision with a lorry, the contents of his head would be decorating the road. |

No-one has said that cycle helmets will always protect the face. There are some accidents where they do. Simple really. -- Simple Simon Mason - who cycles at 25mph in 20mph limits just because the limits do not apply to cyclists. This includes exceeding the speed limit past three schools. A total disregard for the well-being of vulnerable road users. The actions of a true psycholist. |
