Crash Helmets

[raleighnut]

Ah, it's far from the safety video to end all safety videos. I'll stick to less controversial subjects in future!

You could always try clipless shoes/pedals for your next one.

I believe hi viz clothing is a completely uncontroversial topic... :-)

Especially hi-viz at night. Bonus points if the bike has no reflectors.

Remake the video but this time dressed as Jimmy Savile, and you're guaranteed a much more positive response from a less controversial approach.

Keep it up here to show people how NOT to make a 'helmet' video

Oh I don't know - seems a textbook example of how to come across as a complete helmet.

Erm, you might want to rephrase that. Sounds slightly pornographic.

Or one showing that wheels hang from their spokes. Or stand on them.

Chaps, just a quick note to say that I have deleted my video. As some of you had rightly said, I had not done my research and this was a mistake. I have been reading up on the subject and am beginning to understand both sides of the debate. For the record, though, I personally will continue to wear a helmet.

Once again, I apologise for any offence caused and I hope that you will continue watching my other, less controversial videos.

Have a watch of the most recent episode of '24 Hours in A&E'. A 74-year-old woman falls five feet onto concrete, landing full on her face. The cuts are horrible, there's lots of blood, she has a black eye. No bones broken. No brain damage. And of course, no helmet, as you don't need one for gardening apparently. The human skull is tougher than you think.

1. This is a cycle forum, so therefore despite the fact that this type of head injury is far more common it is naughty to mention them

2. That a helmet prevents head injuries is eminently wise, sensible and devastatingly unequivocal and not wearing one is very silly..........until you suggest thatthe same protection would be given in a case like this when the opposite applies and wearing a helmet is an unsopportable and very silly idea

3. Head injuries like these somehow hurt less, are les traumatic for the victim and family and do not need to be prevented or mitigated
