Helmets protect you. I slid down a street and my head bounced on the pavement - without a helmet I would have been much worse off. The road rash was enough. Another incident was a truck mirror that grazed my helmet. Nothing major, but in all, the helmet does its job.

- busterarm 13y agoThis. I saw a bus mirror actually catch a guy's helmet and pick him up off his bike by his head, hauling him down the street. Had he not been wearing a helmet, that never would have happened.
- fallinghawks 13y agoI hope you aren't saying that seriously. If those vehicles caught bicyclists in the helmet, they were both just too close to the cyclists. What if the cyclist swerved an inch to avoid a rock in the road, or even simply turned his/her head to look at something? Yeah, whamo.
- brianobush 13y agoThus everyone should avoid helmets! They can kill. Seriously: Outliers do not describe a population.
- brianobush 13y agoSo you are fine with approx an inch clearance with passing vehicles? I don't think so.
