So the fact that you hit your helmet, especially on the back point like that, is not at all proof that you would have hit your head were you not wearing a helmet. -- tholub - Kinetic Sculptor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tholub's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/804 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39658 |

Tom is not stupid, and is not a fool on a crusade against helmets. There's no need to go making sarcastic attacks on his statement. All he is doing is being realistic. The damage to a helmet is not equal or directly comparable to that of an unguarded head in the same crash. As far as I can tell, that is all he is saying. And technically, assuming you didn't have a windshield, being without a seatbelt can be better, since you could end up flying into a pool of water or sand rather than having a hard piece of cloth crush your collarbone (you run into a low brick wall at the edge of a harbor, for example). -- gerblefranklin - Trials Unicyclist http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Trials-Muni Nick's main man.

All I am saying is that it is an obvious physical fact that you're more likely to hit your helmet than you are to hit your unprotected head, therefore the fact that someone hit his helmet in a crash doesn't mean that he would have hit his head. -- tholub - Kinetic Sculptor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tholub's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/804 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39658 |
