Replace "
bicycle" by "
shower" or "
stairs", or just about any activities that may result in head injury, do you think the statement would be far from true?
That's why it's important to wear a helmet on the stairs or in the shower, according to the logic of some people.
Still looking forward to a reply to my post #1659 (#1660 was not a direct reply since seat belts and airbags were not mentioned in
#1657 or #1659).
