It's been a fun expedition into this wacky corner of bf but I think I'll go back to ignoring it (like most people).
Carry on...
You say this like you know my point of view -- I have a feeling you have no idea what my point of view is regarding helmets and the helmet use debate.
Science is fine, but in this case, clear as mud. The facts were reported in this study and while the conclusion says helmets reduce head/brain injury, it's not by a phenomenal amount, helmet users still suffer head/brain injuries, and the study cites bare-header arguments without refutation.
There's lots to talk about in that study, but people here really don't want to debate fact when facts are presented which contradict their long-held beliefs.
