Entirely fair. I certainly wasn't trying to go down that route.

I know a couple as well but he was very much hands off in a new whisky distillery on the east coast.

Is its job to destroy itself spectacularly in a crash involving an impact on the helmet outside the normally tested protective area and thereby sell more helmets? As the photos I've seen don't look like the required protective area was impacted much. Star wars stormtrooper armour would probably have helped him more.
Glad he's OK. Pretty unsurprised he's crashed from how he's ridden in TV charity shows. Wish he hadn't exploited the crash to spout nonsense.

And you base that observation upon what, exactly?
Unless you are a suitably qualified engineer with knowledge of the collision you can only speculate as to the efficacy or otherwise of the bonce potty.

He was quoted in the Times as saying it saved his life, but I can't find the article now.
This is his instragram post:
In a post on his Instagram, Ramsay wrote in the caption: "Sound ON and plz Swipe through…..with #FathersDay tomorrow I have very important message for all the dads out there…WEAR A HELMET !"This week I had a really bad accident while riding my bike in Connecticut. I’m doing ok and did not break any bones or suffer any major injuries but I am a bit bruised up looking like a purple potato.
"I’m thankful for all the doctors, nurses and staff at Lawerence + Memorial Hospital in New London who looked after me and checked me out, but most thankful for my helmet that saved my life. Have a great Father’s Day and be safe Gx".

He definitely said it, I saw the video as that's what prompted the thread.

Isn't it weird that everyone who comes off their bike and ends up with a badly damaged helmet which has protected their noggin thinks that helmets are incredibly useful.
I've never yet seen anyone who came off their bike and whacked their head who said "see - I told you helmets were pointless!"

I was told that if I'd been wearing a helmet when I was most seriously hit there's a good chance I'd have lost a large part of my left ear.
