Paddlers wear helmets due to submerged rocks, not due to your imagined hardness of water. Water doesn't get hard until you jump off a bridge. Cyclists do collide with animals. But the point is, your statement that everything is harder than a skull was demonstrable nonsense.
You are babbling complete nonsense now -- some of which I elided to save you further embarrassment. Go have a coffee or whatever you require, and get your head straight before continuing. A helmet cannot prevent an impact -- that is a physical impossibility. Stop wasting my time with such garbage.
Read the last page or so. This has been covered. A real helmet is Snell M or SA rated, or the European equivalents which I no longer recall by heart. "Fake" helmets are the ~200 gram plastic hats currently sold under the guise of "bicycle helmets", which offer no benefit.
Again, I invite you to coffee-up and read the last couple pages. The point, which has been made repeatedly, is that real helmets offer a safety benefit to the wearer, and bicycle helmets do not.
Do you need an all-capital-letters study to help you look up the relevant statistics, which are all available from the NHTSA? If you are honestly unaware of the relevant statistics, and not just further wasting our time by trolling, why are you even participating in this discussion? The absolute basic information that a person should be in-possession of, before attempting to discuss the alleged merits of bicycle helmets, is how well they accomplish their alleged function. Do you mean to tell me that you have never bothered to do the very first bit of research that must necessarily precede intelligent discussion on this topic?
Yes so is asphalt now significantly softer than rocks? I wasn't aware that had happened. Would love to see the peer reviewed study on that.
Nonsense? How is what I wrote nonsense. I get that you don't have an argument so all you can do is grasp at straws but come on.
Did I state that helmets prevent impacts, no, I don't think anyone has said that but they protect your head IN an impact.
So confused...you believe a bicycle helmet is fake because it is rated by a different standards organization? Are you actually trying to claim that a helmet is fake because it is not SNELL rated even though some bicycle helmets have been SNELL rated. What is your next argument that book is not a real book because it wasn't published by Pendant Publishing? Peanuts are not real legumes because they are called "nuts"?
I don't drink coffee or other stimulants, I don't need them for life. Maybe you do but I prefer not to. If that is part of your argument it is also pretty weak and flimsy.
So where are these studies, so far you haven't posted a single one you allude to them constantly but never can provide one, I provided links to data and peer reviewed studies you so far have not. It is fine you don't really have a good argument it happens I understand. You are that last Japanese soldier who was living in a cave on an island who still believed the war was going on and the rest of the world has long moved on.
