The cyclist is wearing a helmet while the 'roo is bare headed. If helmets actually provide protection why didn't the kangaroo fall down like the cyclist? -- Cheers, John B. |

It's anything with pedals. Even a multi-hundred pound rail car that's far more stable than a kitchen chair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x6FgHnnzQU Or a low recumbent tricycle: http://www.terratrike.com/ I guess it must be the pedals that somehow impose tremendous risk of TBI. -- - Frank Krygowski |

Good Lord! I'll have to talk to someone at the hospital. They've got people being wheeled around in chairs and other's being pushed around on wheeled tables and not a safety helmet in sight. -- Cheers, John B. |
