What skydancer said. It does show they understand the issues.

The main question I'd have is how they have arranged this with their insurance; the article doesn't say anything about it. In my experience, it's generally insurance companies that force helmet-wearing.

Also, this will look very familiar to @bright:

Bungee cords were the biggest cause of injuries, but have since been phased out.

I've found that many people/orgs wrongly cite insurance as the reason for lid compulsion. When you drill down to it this isn't the case.

Cycle activity insurance from the UK's main insurer, butterworth spengler, isn't at all bothered about helmets

Yes, I probably just didn't drill into it enough and took people's word(s) for it. I wasn't thinking of Butterworths, as they've obviously been working with cycling orgs for a long time, but other cases way outside of that context.
