Hmm, sorry - maybe I get a spanking now but in 36yrs of cycling I never wore one - and most likely I never will. My personal choice and I stand for it, keep your criticism.

Dieter, who, last August, had a serious crash riding his df WITH a helmet on. Brain hematoma, 6 weeks in a coma, still rehabbing, now riding a Trice Q. No visible damage to the helmet!!! Are helmets the ultimate safety device for riders? Dieter proved that you can still get your bell rung and cracked even with a helmet.

This is a daily arguement in our house. Noah is an ardent skateboarder and is picking up BMX-ing.
I read this to him Mike (thank you) and he pretty much shrugged it off and said "I don't like wearing them."
When he doesn't he gets his board/bike taken away and it is mandatory at the skate parks................
I keep telling Noah if the pro's wear them, then you should too but that whole "invincibility attitude" is a hard one to crack. Not that it stops me from being strict about it, it just makes it more challenging.

It's simple: "If I ever hear that you were on your bike/blades without a helmet, you will do neither for one year."
And during that year he gets to pick a different activity, like Karate, Swimming, or anything else that doesn't involve a helmet.
He'll learn.

Not to mention that SOP for EMS on scene is to cut the chinstrap and remove the helmet, not as much of a problem with a 3/4 helmet, but when you start getting into full face helmets + neck trauma bad things can happen.

I oppose legislation forcing adults to wear safety belts or bike helmets. I support it for those under the age of majority.
I don't want to take this thread but I am interested that you would oppose this, because if a back seat passenger isn't wearing a belt, in a car accident, they can severely injure or kill the person in the seat in front of them.

The elongated "aero" shape continues to dominate as well. This is a less than optimal design for crashing. We believe that the ideal surface for striking a road resembles a bowling ball: hard, smooth and round. Round shells reduce to a minimum any tendency for a helmet to "stick" to the surface when you hit, with the possibility of increasing impact intensity, contributing to rotational brain injury or jerking the rider's neck. They also eliminate the aero tail that can snag, or in a backward impact can shove the helmet aside as you hit, exposing your bare head.

I think that compulsory helmets reflect the attitudes of the general community towards cyclists. The more anti-cyclist the community is (like Australia) the more likely they are to have compulsory helmets.
