And you think it's becuase one wore a foam hat and the other didn't?
Maybe
Tyler
shoudl start wearing football shoulder pads, too. In fact, since
breaking
a
collar bone is the "cyclist injury," maybe we should all be wearing
shoulder
pads.

?? proving you don't know what you are talking about.
Collar bones break when you put your arm out to break your fall.
Shoulder
pads do not help.


I'm afraid it's you who doesn't know what they're talking about.

What are you on about?
Figure out where your collar bone is.
I've not known many cyclists break one, but every one did it with an
outstretched arm.

Not very scientific, would you like to do better?

Eddie Merckx (as well as many, many others) crashed and won, sans foamie.

All crashes are different.

End of story.

Greg Lemond got shot in the stomach by his brother and won a tour. Some
crashes involve family members with shotguns, end of story

By the way does anyone know if this helmet thing is a UCI rule or just a
Tour rule? Because the Tour is run like a South Carolina golf club.
I'm sure there are many more rules that people here wouldn't agree with.

I believe I read that it's a UCI rule...

UCI. The first major tour to incorporate it was this year's Giro D'Italia.

I don't think it's very safe to ride with golf clubs, either.
