This team's results have been found to be riddled with errors and "bodging" to get the numbers they want. No one else has found a benefit to wearing a helmet in collisions with cars. Which is where virtually all cyclist deaths occur.
WRONG.
How many DIFFERENT studies did I refer to where ALL showed some benefit to wearing a helmet? Twenty? Twenty-five?
So, once again, a helmet may be useful in reducing minor injury - but as a tool for reducing the possibility of death it is ineffective. Which is the point that you have failed to grasp. In fact, your stupidity is putting lives at risk - because if people believe that a helmet largely precludes the possibility of death then they will fail to take other safety measures and engage in riskier behaviour.
WRONG again.
Also, nothing more than an ad hominem attack disguised as a straw-man argument with no evidence to back it up.
