She's ripped the scene of a fatality off the internet. She's hijacked a man's death to bolster her helmet campaign. That's pretty despicable. You reckon a plastic hat protects against tipper trucks in Singapore?

You said "grubby"
What has the country got to do with it?
I imagine that one accident scene looks much like another - a road with blood on it. I also doubt she takes pictures of the scenes she attends as she has more important things to do.

Right, so what's the view that does stack up? If I asked you "Is it possible that a helmet could prevent or reduce injury in a cycling accident?" what would you say?

It's a pretty good indicator of "her" honesty and credibility, isn't it?

Are you the poster on her blog who is assuming offence on behalf of the family of a dead man in order to try and make a point I'm not clear on?
"Can you please show some dignity for a dead man and remove the scene of Li Jinwei's death? It has nothing to do with your dishonest campaign and is offensive to any of his family who may find this page by doing an image search." -

I think the use of stock images is quite common. I don't think it indicates much about her honesty or credibility.

What are the other issues?
The bit about reducing injury in some collisions is all she is saying:
"The fact remains, though a helmet may not save every life, it may very well save one"
What are the "other issues"?

It's a fake internet blog using fake photos to illustrate fake stories. And I'm willing to bet a million pounds that no real paramedic would ever, ever, condone encouraging people to shout at cyclists as they ride in traffic

"She's" now refusing to remove the advice about shouting at cyclists cos she thinks I've been rude to her.
So, cos her feelings are hurt she's leaving dangerously irresponsible instructions up on her worthless bullshit blog. This isn't a paramedic at all, it's a silly person.

I get the impression someone posting on here is also posting on her blog, given the similarity of timings and the points being made. Apologies for thinking it was you.
My point to whomsoever did make the post I quoted was that all this vitriol for someone expressing an opinion and using hyperbole for emphasis is a little rich coming from someone who presumes to speak for the family of someone they have never met.

Ah it's you who thinks you can speak on behalf of the family of the gentleman killed in the accident scene shown on her blog?
What makes you think you can do that?

Not really no. I imagine all accident scenes are similar. And like you I expect there are certain accidents that a helmet will help with, and if I were to have one of those certain accidents wearing my helmet and it means I get to carry on living, then that's all good. If it's not 'that kind of accident' I might die and the helmet will make bog all difference. In the former case I 'win' by wearing it, and in the latter I break even. Seems a no-brainer to me.
