It will be an extra burden on the head. Besides, an uneasy feeling will discourage riders. This decision can't be appreciated.
What an idiot. Managed to victim blame himself.
How exactly are you reckless if you don't cycle in a reckless manner? You become reckless when somebody else recklessly hits you but you don't have a helmet? Is that right? Is this really what he's saying?
His helmet couldn't have been that evffective or he wouldn't have that massive cut above his eye. Possibly not wearing the helmet tight enough or pushed back on his head?
being hit by 5 tonne vehicle - TOP BANTZ!!

Unprofessional by all involved. Opportunity missed to highlight road danger reduction. Nevermind being hit by a van, wear a plastic hat!
