The point is it saved injury to my head. We'll never know the extent of what damage to my head it saved, that will always be speculation. But hopefully you understand that was the only part of my body which experienced impact and which wasn't damaged. It was the only bit that had protection...

Well we can. Where are the major abrasions and impacts damage on the helmet shell that would have been on your head if the helmet had not been in the way? Its a bit like coming out of a car accident with an undamaged car and swearing the body shell had protected you from serious injury. If it saved your head from major damage, your helmet would have suffered major damage itself, if it doesn't have major damage then no major damage would have happened to your head.
 
Erm... open your eyes dude :ohmy:

So the general idea is that wearing helmets reduces head injuries and this is a good thing?

Only if the helmet was made of skin and bone.

Can you point out where you countered my evidence with hard evidence of your own? I must have missed it



P.S Can you stop this funny interleaved bold quoting and replies. It makes it a bugger to reply to.

i will try to compile a reply without the use of bold

im not sure what hard evidence you need or are looking for to wear a helmet.

Your evidence suggest they may not give the advantages that some people believe, that does not suggest to me wearing one is pointless, therefore i will continue to wear one

doh, nearly managed it

No, you'll need to get the hang of this evidence thing first. Evidence is something that demonstrates the truth of an assertion. All you made just was an assertion.

So lets try again. What hard evidence have you produced to demonstrate the truth of your assertion that wearing a helmet is advantageous?

One of these:

So i presume in context it is being suggested that you wear headgear of this shape....


Popular with horse riders.

Hows this then ? From my research (my eyes) more people wear helmets these days than dont. I call that pretty hard evidence.
