Helmet safety

I just found this article about bicycle helmet safety on the Guardian newspaper website.

It basically says that using a bicycle helmet reduces the chance of a serious head injury by 70%. If you wondered why RUSA makes us wear helmets, now you know.

Those idiots riding with helmets dangling from their handlebars make me so mad! I just want to push them off their bikes and shout "Now you see why you should wear your helmet!". Probably shouldn't do that though.

Fact is, by the time your brain has degraded to the point where you think "I don't need to wear a helmet", there isn't much left for the helmet to save.
