On the flip side, the recent death of a helmeted racer here in Portland, Or. shows that a helmet is not a free pass to immortality. http://tinyurl.com/7pefv I raced that course for years without so much as a close call. The finish is so wide and the set-up is so long that there is rarely a mishap. This poor guy just got in the wrong place and bit it going full blast with a helmet on. -- Jay Beattie. |

Given the gentle response above, one might assume that it is too late for you to get much benefit from a helmet g. I was just trying to fast forward the thread to it's inevitable conclusion. I just read an article about a graduate student at MIT that proposed an "experiment" to explore the possibility of time travel. He sent out invitations for a "time travel convention" at 10pm on a particular night, built a platform, rigged up some lights, hired a DJ and had a party on the campus quad. At 10pm they hoped something would happen: http://web.mit.edu/adorai/timetraveler/ |

Too bad it was on his head instead of his knee, since at least one of the reports seems to say that the knee is what caused him to bail out. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug.
