Safety technology will evolve, new evidence and stats will emerge, and people's opinions will change. Helmets will be a subject of discussion for the foreseeable future. Deal with it.

If a particular topic doesn't interest you... then don't bother reading it! Simples, as you and the meerkats like to say. :roll:

Anyway, back on topic please...

We are dealing with it and as it is you're site you have the right to post what you like but there is another thread still live and and this one is highly emotional and not very subjective ...I'm with Tony

It's a news item picked up by our news editor, that's all.

I suspect most of our readers won't be taking the title literally...



And for those of our readers not interested in reading any more about helmets; there's a nice big clue in the title.

Why would anyone's god smash their head against a tree, to within moments of ending their life, as a message to wear a factory-made helmet.

If their god really cared that much would (s)he not have designed a stronger head or inserted a common sense gene?

Just wondering. )

if I'm not skiing then I'm kayaking.

Where did they get these statistics from?

Lisa Klindt Simpson obviously doesn't use English as a first language as her statement makes no sense

Spot on.

It's an individual choice, full stop. There are many and varied arguments for and against all of which (okay...most of which) are valid but should all be viewed from different perspectives and the perspective of the poster.

This is a discussion that will never go away due to the safety argument but the fact remains that it is down to individual preference - and that cannot be argued (can it?).

I'm a Lidder when abroad but at Hemel Snow Centre tomorrow I'll be sans lid...work that out!

There's no business like snow business!

It's normal to have to read American English (esp. from news rooms) in an interpretive way, rather than literally. Example- "I could care less", when "I couldn't care less is meant". It's very frustrating at times.

It's common for people to cite divine intervention in news stories.
because I'm so inclined .....
