Cheers, Carl Fogel Guy thought he was too cool for brakes. Dear Hank, I was tempted to add that, but some velocipedes had brakes, while others didn't. When you see something that looks like a ridiculous miniature rear fender on a velocipede, it's usually the remains of a brake whose brake cord rotted away long ago.

Cheers, Pray, what is the purpose of including the H word when the cause of death listed is one where the wearing of such a fashion accessory would have had no effect? Just type the magic word "HELMET", and pop goes the weasel known as "jtaylor"! Works like magic every time. |

Dear J, I've waited in fear and trembling. But so far Frank Krygowski hasn't pointed out that even a lantern burning the finest whale-oil might not have made much difference at the estimated 4 mph speed of the fatal encounter. Of course, Frank's quicker on the uptake than some of us. :-) This helmet, if properly secured to the breast-place by the customary charnel-bolt, might have allowed the unfortunate velocepedist's neck to survive his encounter with the wagon-wheel: http://home.messiah.edu/~gdaub/armor...tcher/helm.jpg :-) As for the efficacy of modern helmets, we had this remarkable assurance a few days ago from a Colorado coroner: Skier dies after hitting trees at Telluride By The Denver Post Article Last Updated: 02/14/2008 09:03:52 AM MST A 33-year-old Southwest Airlines pilot hit the trees and died at Telluride Ski Resort on Wednesday. Brian Irvin of Mesa, Ariz., was racing a friend down the intermediate Marmot run when he lost his balance and sailed out of a stand of trees about noon, according to San Miguel County authorities. Irvin was not wearing a helmet and died on the mountain from his head injuries, coroner Bob Dempsey said. "If he had been wearing a helmet, he would be alive today," Dempsey said Wednesday evening. http://www.denverpost.com/search/ci_8255448 Alas, Coroner Dempsey did not volunteer to "sail" into a tree while wearing a helmet to test his theory. :-) Cheers, Carl Fogel |

KILLINGTON -- A skier has died after crashing into a tree at Killington Ski Resort. Police say Kirk W. O'Brien, 44, of Cumberland, R.I., caught an edge of his ski in the snow, lost control and struck a tree off the Bittersweet trail Sunday at 10 a.m. O'Brien, who was wearing a helmet, suffered massive head trauma. Police say he was lifeless when emergency personnel arrived and was pronounced dead on the way to the hospital. Family and friends say O'Brien was an expert skier who started skiing at age 9 and had skied around the world. |
