And heres mine. 2 falls from bike (ice and diesel) not wearing a helmet and on neither ocassion did my head hit the ground however walking to bus stop in ice and fell and hit my head.
Accordingly walking is twice as dangerous as cycling.

Anecdotal evidence fully confirms the need for tin foil helmets!
What more proof do you need in order to wear one?
Cripes, that thought screen stuff really does work, doesn't it? I've looked long and hard at that photo and can see absolutely no evidence of rational intelligence.

I have an easy system, I wear a helmet because I want to, I've had grit and bits of car removed from my skull so I wear one out of choice, I've never looked at the evidence either way and if in some peopes eyes it makes me less of a cyclist then tough, it gets worse I don't wear lycra either, another personal choice.
At the end of the day that is what all this debate boils down to, your own personal choice, nobody should say we are wrong because of the type of bike we use or clothes we wear, it doesn't make you less of a cyclist, your choices just make you different from the next person, it would be a boring place if we were all the same or felt that we needed to force our choices on everyone else, end of lecture
Isn't that argument the same as: 'The world is flat.' That's my personal opinion based on my own experience. I'm not going to look at the evidence either way?

I was waiting for some comments like his head would have not hit the road if he did not have a helmet on.
It certainly wouldn't have happened if they had being going at a sensible speed and left enough braking distance!
What were they thinking of?

No its not because at present there is as much evidence against helmets as for helmets, so I'm not ignoring evidence, I just realise that people will make their own choices on this subject, unless somebody proves beyond all doubt and then some will just ignore it anyway.
The world is flat is a different thing, there is evidence to show that it is round, either that or Ellen Macarthur got to the edge and turned round again
Would you like to cite some of the good evidence for helmets?

The flat earthers are still convinced the earth is flat and all the evidence for it being round has been falsified. Just as the tobacco companies swear the research shows they have a safe and healthy product.

I've stepped through it frame by frame and its impossible to tell whether any of them hit their heads or not. There is too much motion blur and people in the way. So what makes you sure any of their helmets hit the road?
