Are helmets saving lives?

Holy crap, an example of risk homeostasis that
_doesn't_ involve helmets!

That sounds gay (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Straight load of bull**** is more like it. Try getting your information

Article answer: probably not, and a pox on Rebecca Oaten for
stubbornly clinging to her support of the NZ helmet law she advocated
into enactment, despite evidence its main effect was to convince NZers
to stop riding bicycles.

Counterpoint: the law is working as intended.

Hi there.

This is a bit ridiculous but:

Well, if legislated mandatory use of helmets results in fewer
bicyclists, as some say is the case, one could say that helmets save
lives. Unfortunately those non-bicyclist probably then use a higher
risk form of transportation.

The way I figure it is that sometimes a helmet is good and sometimes
it's bad. It depends on the kind of riding one does and the speeds one
rides at.

I'm sure the debate or war will be raging long after we've all gone to
that great bicycling mecca in the sky.
