No, you missed my point: comparing football helmets and the activity of football to cycling helmets and cycling is about as germane as drawing parallels between motorcycling and bicycling. According to you, since the "laws of biometrics and neurophysiology don't change", anyone should feel welcome to correlate the protective properties of one type of helmet and use for which it was designed to cycling helmets and cycling.

Right?

Otherwise, I'd wonder why you posted something like that study of football helmets in this thread about bicycle helmets...
