It's not at all clear what your- or your neighbor's- point is. However, you can fairly easily sustain brain damage without ever hitting your head on something; a helmet can provide no protection from this. After that particular comment I did state to my neighbour ( ER specialist) that Formula-1 racers wore helmets for a reason. Yes, I agree that there is no 100% prevention of anything. I got a tiny blister infected with two anti-biotic resistant bacteria that resulted in a trip to the ER and OR. Fortunately it was not the necrotising fascitis types of bacteria. Close, but not resultant in an amputation... Lots of tissue damage and the time to re-grow it took unproductive time too. |

I hit the car with my right rib cage and fell onto
the hood as I slid off the windshield. So how did the helmet contribute? While I don't recall hitting my head the outer plastic helmet shell has a couple of little pieces missing. I'm not seeing the connection between this tale and the double-exclamation Subject line. Obviously you are blind. I do have some difficulty seeing what isn't there. -- Robots don't kill people -- people kill people. http://www.irobotmovie.com/ |

I always wear the helmet while biking. But I landed on my face when I
crashed my bicycle last time. The helmet didn't help in that situation. "LioNiNoiL_a t_N e t s c a p E_D 0 T_N e T" wrote in message news:9zoIc.1874$Wu.227@fed1read03...

What the hell you think all those cutouts were for? The first Bell was deadly - you couldn't hardly see. Had a hell of a trip down Spyglass in Monterey one day. But it came with a snap-on chin protector or something... Curtis L. Russell Odenton, MD (USA) Just someone on two wheels... |
