I have read many accounts on this forum where members have clearly stated that wearing a helmet protected them from a head injury.
Funny though that I have never heard about or read about even one person credibly stating that wearing a helmet caused them to have a head injury.
I have occasionally read some nonsense about risk compensation though lol.
Cyclists (like everybody else) make all sorts of statements about ideas/opinions they believe to be true.
BF posters make all sorts of statements about ideas/opinions they believe to be true.
A lot of the opinions held to be alleged "facts"
ARE nonsense no matter how passionately held the belief in their objective reality.
Any BF thread on the subject of
Bicycle Helmet Safety, especially when it includes heated rhetoric and specious arguments about their alleged effectiveness in risk reduction, will provide ample evidence of this sort of nonsense.
