    Oh joy. More opinions from people who have never ridden a bike and medical experts who are overexposed to trauma injuries anyway.

    That was yesterday, unless he's bring it up again. They ended up arguing whether car drivers should wear helmets or not, slow news day...

    conclusions, a helmet will save you if you fall off your bike but not if you get smashed by a car or hgv.

    I wonder will Tim Allen ring in, or is he too busy on boards. Only so many hours on a friday afternoon.

    Yes, that was yesterday surely. There can't be THAT much interest in this topic.

    (I don't think that was exactly the conclusion; it was that a helmet might do you some good in the event of a simple fall; I don't think Dr. McKillen conceded that it would "save you".)

    This is simple-minded shroud-waving, I'm afraid.

    I just heard the very tail end of this yesterday and he had a listeners comment who said that he'd never wear a helmet cos 'it makes him look like a nerd'. That's one angle that I never really considered before. The next time I'm looking for a promotion in my IT job, I must wear my helmet to look the part :pac:
