Default The Persistent Time Wasting of Timmie McNamara

RBT's permanent straggler, Tim McNamara wrote:

the real
discussion, which is "do helmets reduce the incidence or prevalence of
brain injuries among bicyclists?"


Good heavens, Timmie, have you still not got it? See, the major New
York study of eight years of cycling fatalities and serious accidents,
almost 4000 serious cycling accidents, found among other things that:

• Most fatal crashes (74%) involved a head injury.
• Nearly all bicyclists who died (97%) were not wearing a helmet.
• Helmet use was only 3% in fatal crashes, but 13% in non-fatal
crashes

The implication is clear: helmets save lives. Surely it follows, even
to you, that if lives are saved, then brain injuries must be prevented
too. I've printed and reprinted a full report on RBT and other
cycling conferences again and again and can't understand why you
haven't seen it yet; you must be deliberately avoiding the truth.
Again. That's your choice of course, but why do you waste so much of
our time with your blindness?
