    Helmets Yes or No?

    Last year on 17 th July I was struck by a 4/4 driver who apparently “didn,t see me” I suffered life changing injuries,almost complete severance of my right arm ,broken ribs,concussion and a brain bleed,if I hadn,t been wearing a decent lid I don,t think I,d be here so my point is it might not be your fault when or if you get hit,but that lid WILL save you.

    Hurrah, yet another helmet thread.
    I’m sure this will be as illuminating as all the other helmet threads started by pillocks who think we need to be told to wear one.

    I wear mine out of choice, I have no problem with wearing one.

    Would I make them compulsory, probably not but would advise people to wear one.

    +1 for wearing helmets.

    +1 for wearing helmets.

    I can’t see any disadvantage to putting something relatively light on my head. I do appreciate that everyone has a choice.

    The two serious accidents I’ve had in 25 years of riding both saw me bashing my head on the ground but no damage to my scull or brain (I’ve been tested so I’m sticking to that) as I was wearing a helmet.

    No, it “might” save you. It didn’t save you from almost complete severance of your right arm, broken ribs, concussion, a brain bleed and, most importantly, being hit in the first place.

    A suit of armour may have been better for injury reduction in a collision, but proper cycle infrastructure WILL save you from the collision in the first place.

    I’m pro lid wearing. I think nothing of spending 3 or 4 hundred quid on cycle helmets. That’s my choice. I also really don’t mind if others choose not to wear a helmet, they aren’t forced to by law (yet), that’s their choice.
