Do you disagree with the studies showing that helmets prevent injuries?
> A 2012 re-analysis of the 16 studies in the Attewell meta-analysis, by Elvik, found that, compared to helmeted cyclists, unhelmeted cyclists were 2.5 times more likely to sustain a brain injury; 2.3 times more likely to sustain a head injury; and 4.3 times more likely to sustain a fatal injury.

- devilshaircut 13y agoYes. Those studies are one-sided. It is as I indicated in another post a point of contention among the professional cycling community whether or not helmets do more harm than good (both in accidents and sociologically). Here is a study that was very much talked about in recent years. http://www.drianwalker.com/overtaking/ http://www.drianwalker.com/overtaking/ A Google search will reveal other similar studies as well. Wikipedia is not comprehensive.
