Care to point me at the post(s) you have in mind?
You don't understand what catastrophic failure mode is do you? Bluntly the equivalent of the helmet failing to provide protection because it was stressed outside of its design envelope. It failed because the forces were too great, meaning the riders skull saved him not his helmet.
Some of this lot witnessed a fellow cc'er falling on his head. The consultant treating him said "good job you WEREN'T wearing a helmet or you may have broken your neck."
Most of us are here though, in Britain.
There's a constant queue of people, some with unwarranted influence, calling for helmet compulsion. Some are cyclists themselves ffs. It hasn't happened here but it is a risk that shouldn't be ignored.
Not this again. Physics is universal as far as we know.
Does the law of gravity work differently in Copenhagen vs Berwick-on-Tweed.
Clearly written from a position of ignorance. Most roads in cph do not have separated provision for cyclists. The roads here are not by any means super-safe for cyclists. Car v bike conflict, accident, and injury is a daily occurrence and deaths happen all to often. Sorry to burst your bubble.
