(there are views of leading neurologists in this paper, if you're interested enough to read them)
Also, that's just a pap piece on helmets in general from a commericial magazine with the objective of selling as many copies as possible. Nowhere does it even come close to addressing the issue of whether or not bike helmets help prevent injuries.

It's just more noise and obfuscation.

Imagine that.
