So you've rallied against the articles points from a logical point of view.
But do you have any evidence that helmet use decreases (severity of) injury?
From the evidence I've seen, requiring helmets lowers cycle usage, which in turn lowers the number (total, not per capita) of injuries, which politicians see as a 'win'.
- diego 14y agoDid you downvote me? You can google the studies yourself, there are lots of those supporting whatever conclusion you prefer. I don't have an opinion on helmets, only on the logical fallacies used in the article.
- ChrisClark 14y agoWell, for one thing. My dad would be dead if it wasn't for his bike helmet. That's good enough for me to wear one. It's anecdotal, but it's very personal, so I'm probably not going to change my mind. What's cool is the helmet company wanted his helmet back so they could study it.
