It's odd that you don't care.
If it's not a useful skill for racers, it's not a useful skill for normal riders.
And, if it was so "self evident", then it's surprising that it doesn't seem racers know about it (especially if "the skills are more common in general than you think").
Nah, you are just ignoring what I'm saying.
It's obvious that many racers don't know how to fall (even if many others do), and of course that's why there are so many collarbone fractures. This should be easier to grasp for a smart guy like you.
I won't be asking "racers" who don't know much about the subject about how the helmet affects tumbling technique. I think I'll ask my 6th degree Sensie in the dojo next week, who probably
would have some knowledge about the subject.
I apologize to those who think that it's irrelevant to question how the helmet may affect hitting your head on the ground when one has some training. Just put me on ignore.
