I would be interested to know the exact injury. Seems possible
that the helmet could have been a player.

A close family member managed to decapitate himself by going down
in a curve at 100+. From the pictures, it was pretty obvious
that it was the inertia of the helmet that tore his head off.

He shouldn't have been wearing a bicycle helmet anyway.

Freak accident. Apparently Simoncelli's bike, once he lost control of
it, rather than head for the runoff, shot the wrong way across the
track into the path of two bikes behind him, Rossi and Edwards. They
weren't in close contention with him, but close enough to have nowhere
to go. They hit Simoncelli's bike and his helmet came off. Those who
saw the accident appear to be of the opinion that the damage was most
likely already done by the time Simoncelli went down without his
helmet. The other two riders, experienced senior men, were pretty
shaken though Rossi was unhurt and Edwards (relative to a fatality and
general motorbike racing mayhem) not too seriously hurt. -- AJ

You have no manners, no taste and no judgement, Doug. You're
offensive. Go away.

Neither do you, bringing up this subject on this NG.

Rubbish. Cycle fatalities and the efficacy of helmets are the business
of this conference, and are constantly raised by everyone else,
hundreds of threads on the subject over the years. It is only when the
evidence tends to support the case for helmets that hypocrites like
you, Clive George, suddenly don't want to discuss the matter.

Rubbish. But you're being boring now, so I shall stop responding.

There's a huge difference between the technical standards of motorcycle
helmets and bicycle helmets. (also between motorcycle/racing and bicycle
/speeds/, but anyway,,,)



Perhaps it should be asked: what comparison were you attempting exactly?

Apparently wearing a helmet doesn't prevent injuries. So, this is a case
in support of the anti-helmet riders.
