"Or can read the data correctly.  May be the maximum amount of riders are being saved by helmets and those that die are in such traumatic accidents that helmet or no helmet they were gonna die anyway.  "

"I think I speak for everyone. Get the fu*k out.  Not wearing a helmet is idiotic.  Wow. You're so brave cause you don't wear one (I mean the readers commenting not author).  Everyone may not die however there is considerable brain damage that can leave you permanently disabled just not "dead". If you buy those stupid AF helmets that look like some weird alien design. Get something more practical, commuter friendly etc.  I'm not promoting but I love my Thousand helmet.  Good riddance. "
