A helmet wouldn't have helped this guy, doesn't help 90% of accidents, there's no proof it helps with the other 10%, may cause 10% more rotational neck injuries, makes me sweat so much I can't see through the salt running down my face, either causes wind restance or limits movement depending on cycling position, causes drivers to drive closer to you, rapes children, causes global warming and lines the pockets of fat cat executives making money out of people's fears.
And to top it all, it doesn't even look cool.
They can fuck right off.
And worst of all is they are the main cause of dull overly long threads about legal issues on this forum.
Oh and if I hear (or read) another sactamonious twat saying, "I fell off and my helmet broke into a million peices... imagine if that had been my head..." if you think that logic follows or is proof of anything other than how soft polystyrene is you deserve to have your head broken.
I fell of my bike yeterday and broke my phone... lucky it was there really because if it hadn't been I would be having hip replacement surgery right now...
Oh and comparisions with brakes are flawed by the fact brakes are a requirement and helmets are a recomendation.
