What I love about the Internet is the ability to find "facts" to support any personal beliefs. If you do not believe me just Google it.  |
Vinny, you were being selective when you noted only one site. I did note the "apparent" failure of helmets to prevent injutries, careful to not be absolute. If you continue your search, you will find several additional articles that raise the issue that it appears helmets have not reduced deaths or head injuries. It just raises questions regarding "commonly held beliefs". I too wear a helmet and my comment was not meant to support any "personal belief", just expand the conversation.
