[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Not really understanding why people are so eager to gainsay something that reduces head injuries by 83 percent. [/quote] If bike helmets actually reduced head injuries by 83 percent no one would be against them. It would be an open and shut case. If you look at the contemporary, peer-reviewed literature there is question whether they are effective at all, and wide agreement that the effectiveness is nowhere near that. The 83-percent effectiveness number comes from extrapolating a study from 1989 that has never been reproduced. [/quote]
