The helmet cracking like that means that it didn't do its job. Helmets should compress and spread the shock over a wider surface area.

If you get T-boned by a car out of nowhere at even 40 km/h you can’t necessarily bank on having the time, reaction, and free limbs to raise your arms to protect your head.

And even if you could, why not save your fucking arms from permanent nerve damage or broken bones and just wear a fucking helmet?

Imagine being so stupid as to needlessly endanger yourself and bring unimaginable sadness to those who care about you when you get killed on your bike because you didn’t want to wear a helmet because you were worried you would look silly and people would make fun of you.

Spoiler alert: you look pretty fucking silly with your brains leaking into the gutter.

That's more or less the case, unfortunately. All that the helmet did for him was prevent his head from getting scraped. If it had compressed, like mine did when I got into a bad crash in a race and pogoed down the tarmac on my head, it would have better protected his brain.

Interesting, but the article isn’t going to stop me from wearing a helmet. I bike in extreme traffic everyday, so I believe that my statistical probability of getting a head injury is higher Most. I feel like that article fails to see that most cyclist that brave traffic are more at risk that the average motorist, nut that statistic is diluted by your average trail cruisers.

pic related: OP reaction to bike helmets (be sure to click it, it's animooted)

..listen, OP: Don't you think you should grow up and take responsibility for yourself, instead of expecting everyone else to pick up your slack? Think about this: If you get a head injury riding a bike, you'll be imposing on all the other people in your life to take care of your worthless ass while you recover (*IF* you recover, that is). Or worse, you get a subdermal hematoma that kills you; how do you think your family and friends are going to feel at your funeral, knowing that if you'd just have put on a goddamned $25 helmet, you'd have a broken helmet but an intact head and still be alive, with just a story to tell?

Competitive riders are *required* to wear helmets by USA Cycling and the UCI. Why do you think that is? To make money for helmet companies? If you actually believe that then maybe you really aren't very smart; after 100 years of professional cycling, the data is clear: in the eventuality (and it WILL happen, if you ride enough!) of a crash, *helmets protect your head from critical injury*. Just about everything else on your body can be fixed; a fucked-up brain can't be. That's why we have helmets. So how about you (and all the other anti-helmet people) stop being ridiculous and protect your head? It's good enough for the Pros, why isn't it good enough for you?

Almost got T-boned the other day. Pic related, cage was going through a gap in line of cars waiting at light, from my angle I couldn't see the gap. Fucker was zooming through it too. Cages do not see a bike lane as a "real" lane they need to check. If this was a two lane cage road they'd look before passing through, but it's a bike lane so they act like we don't exist. This is a direct consequence of these shitty "paint a bike symbol on a shoulder and it's a magic bike lane now" style lanes. Proper separated lanes or even properly painted, designated, widened bike lanes would not have this problem. I dont' think most cages even realize these shoulder-lanes are bike lanes at all.
I still don't wear a helmet. What good will it do when a cage crushes my ribcage and pierces my lungs and organs?
I'll give it that it's partially my fault for not being paranoid after every store entrance or driveway i pass by that a cage may tear into/out of it blindly at any moment.

This is because an injury which might cave your head in and kill you or leave you mentally feeble instead redirects some of those forces down the neck.

They commodified DIY cycling culture, passing it off as their own. Their business model is stealing ideas from small time dudes before they can get to market.

Their average customers are lame guys who think that because they bought a Surly they've joined a cool club and know a lot about bikes, yet usually they're built mega stupid.

Helmets are not a perfect solution to head injuries from cycling. Not even proper full face motorcycle helmets with neck bracing will protect you from every risk. They all the best we have currently. Every cyclist needs to accept cycling is not without risk of serious injury or death.

I wear one for the fringe cases where it might help. It might let me walk away from an accident that would have given me a concussion without one.

>concussion vs short stay in the hospital

If a helmet means 85 year old Ron can get serious upgrade in the heart department, 40 year old Jane gets a contact high from her new lungs, and boozing Bob can keep doing what he does best for another week I will wear one.

Cycling is not necessarily a particularly risky activity. If you find it is so, it is most likely due to particular unnecessary risks you chose to engage in. These risks may or may not be mitigated by wearing a helmet, but most helmet advocates seriously overestimate the capabilities of helmets.

I personally wear a helmet whenever I ride off-road, on-road in a group or otherwise intend on riding to the limit of my abilities and/or my equipment's capabilities. I used to wear a helmet whenever I clipped in, but I'm comfortable enough with the system now to go without one, unless the foregoing conditions prevail, despite the fact that helmets are designed almost explicitly to protect against the '0 km/h, can't unclip' fall.

Incorrect. A comprehensive review of 57 studies found that helmet legislation is associated with increases in helmet use and helmet ownership, and decreases in hospitalizations, head injuries, severe injuries, injury severity and cycling related deaths.

Because there is a decrease in cycling altogether whenever mandatory helmet laws come into effect. Less cyclists = less cycling related injuries.

The only cyclists that would be forced off the road by helmet legislation are those who are either too stupid or too poor to wear a helmet. This is why cycling related injuries decrease - smart cyclists get into fewer accidents, and more well-off cyclists generally ride better-maintained equipment.

Read the paper, they even say that the number of cyclists decreased in NZ and western Australia.

If you'd made mandatory helmet laws for motorist, less people would drive cars because they deem them dangerous. If you force cyclists to wear helmets, they assume that cycling is dangerous, so they'll avoid cycling altogether. This is reflected in the numbers. And if you have less cyclists, you have less cycling related injuries.

It's like you completely ignored what I said.

So here it is again: the only people who will stop cycling in response to helmet laws are those who do not and will not wear a helmet. Helmet legislation has ZERO effect on cyclists who would otherwise wear a helmet regardless of what the law tells them to do.

When these unsafe cyclists stop cycling, injuries drop not only due to fewer cyclists on the road, but due to better protection of the remaining cyclists.

We have mandatory seatbelt laws for motorists and nobody stops driving because cars are by nature unsafe. Stop making things up.

It really all depends on the occasion, if you are going for a bike ride on a familiar trail that's relatively flat and such you probably don't need to wear a helmet. If you are riding a road bike on the road, you should probably wear a helmet.

This is where you are wrong. These laws send the message that cycling is such a dangerous activity that the government found it necessary to adopt helmet laws. So people get scared. This is reflected in the numbers: a decrease in cycling (and that includes "safe" cyclists).

The best way to increase safety for cyclists is to increase the number of cyclists. This is because;
>It means that there are less cars on the road
>Drivers are more likely to have a cyclist in their immediate family or a close friend, so will be more aware and empathetic towards cyclists
>It increases the impetus for cycling infrastructure
>Having more cyclists on the road inherently raises driver awareness, as it's not a surprise to see a cyclist on any particular route

Then there are the additional benefits;
>less driver fatalities and injuries
>healthier society due to regular exercise, so less strain on healthcare, more productive workforce etc etc

If you look at who does and who doesn't wear helmets in a society with no helmet law, it's the ordinary people using bicycles for transport that don't wear helmets, because they ride quite slowly, and it's the sport cyclists going fast on road/ mountain bikes who do wear helmets.
Countries with mandatory helmet laws also have way higher ratios of sport cyclists: regular cyclists than civilised countries.

This is based on a faulty assumption: there is nothing stupid about not choosing to wear a helmet for most cyclists. Additionally, the frequency of injuries for those cyclists who wear helmets and continue to ride in a mandatory bicycle helmet environment experience injuries at an increased rate.

In the last case you're probably more likely to get heatstroke than ever hit your head.

Once, when I was about 12 or 13 with my family coming back from the lake, we saw a car in front of us hit the shoulder, over correct, and careen off the road. The car flipped numerous times and landed on its roof. The A pillar on the drivers' side was completely smashed and the roof had caved in over the driver's seat. We pulled over and got out.

The driver was ejected out of his window when the car rolled. There were minor lacerations to his arms but he was otherwise fine. He only survived because he didn't wear his seatbelt. If he had been strapped in his neck would have snapped when the roof caved in.

I suppose the difference between you and I is that I can recognize when someone should be dead and survived because of sheer dumb luck, and you can't.

>unironically using "I had a horrific crash and was fine even though I didn't wear a helmet" as an argument against helmets when the only reason you aren't dead is because you didn't hit your head

The protection a bike helmet is supposed to provide is the compression of the foam to decrease deceleration on impact, not sure how a thick layer of plastic will help much with that.

You can still buy skate-style helmets if you think it's going to give you more protection.

That said our helmet standards are more needlessly stringent than international ones. My fredbucket is something like 50 grams heavier than international versions.

Aerodynamics is flow control, if the rear of the helmet is tapered more than a real skull, it can do both.

Well surprise - they aren't, when they're not burning fuel to suck air in and make thrust. So unless you've got a jet engine for brains the energy required to force the air through the helmet is, in the end, taken from you pushing the pedals.

Wear your helmet, make sure it's clipped. It probably won't help much if someone plows into you at 60mph but it will help you if you just randomly eat shit at walking pace or at a stand still and stupid shit like that happens when you least expect it. Yes, at a certain threshold helmets fail and will only offer minimal protection, but up to that threshold they can save you from serious injury and you're far more likley to be in some form of silly accident that is covered by that threshold than you are to be in some giant explosive crash.

It's pretty good here for cycling, the only people I see wearing helmets are those who are into competitive cycling, and those occasionally get themselves killed because they sometimes are a bit reckless.

The human head has evolved over millions of years to protect agains5 blunt force trauma, a $50 piece of foam and plastic wrapped around your head isn't going to do shit and has the potential to injure you even more, especially your neck. Just because someone crashed, wasn't wearing a helmet, and ended up suffering brain damage DOES NOT MEAN a helmet would have helped at all. It entirely depends on how the operator of the bicycle decided to handle the fall.

Of course the only caveat is chinese knockoff helmets. And possibly chinese helmets in general. The chinese will copy a high-end helmet, but they'll fuck up the actual protection it provides with subpar materials and manufacturing processes.

So long as you buy first party, the helmet will be safe to wear. Generally, the more expensive helmets are lighter with more aerodynamic features.

I wear a £15 helmet from decathlon. It's EU standard rated so it's perfectly safe, but it ain't the lightest helmet in the world. Not like it really matters since they're made of fucking polystyrene anyway.

You are drawing conclusions based on your preformed belief that helmets reduce injury. Another possible scenario is that helmets are ineffective and the drop in injuries is from a drop in overall cyclists (regardless of helmet use). This study does not tell us. All it tells us is that there is a correlation worth investigating.

Only cycling injury I've ever gotten is a wasp to the eye. Other day I took an unknown bug roughly the size of your thumb to the face. Not gonna lie that I've considered this. But man motorcycle helmets are uncomfortable and make you unable to breathe unless you have the shield up (so, no bug protection.) So you'd probably pass out from restricted airflow, thus causing an injury, in one. Also I fucking hate wasps.

desu for city riders (commutefags) a helmet would fuck us more than help us. To avoid a cage impact you need to be able to see and hear well. No headphones, no cellphone (wtf), no helmet. Cars can come from anywhere, you need to watch constantly, speed is not a priority.
If you're going maxx speed on some country road, sure, you don't really need to watch your surroundings so the helmet isn't a bother, and a crash at that speed would fuck you. Innacity we can never accelerate that much, even if I went otb I'd be fine. Bigger concern is the constant imminent danger of ending up underneath some cage. So my priority is a wider vision field, aka no helmet.

Helmets only help in cases where you fall off the bike, which is entirely preventable and you are 100% in control of merely by not riding like a fucking tard. The situation you are not in total control of, a cage impact, a helmet won't do fucking SHIT. So if you expect to just fall off your bike because you have no handling skill, by all means get a helmet, and check yourself into a tard wrangling facility while you're at it. Personally I've literally ridden a roadbike in blizzard conditions and, despite fishtailing all over and having no starting traction, I didn't fall even once. So you can wear a helmet, which may or may not help, or you can LEARN HOW TO RIDE A FUCKING BIKE WITHOUT TIPPING OVER LIKE A TODDLER. Maybe helmetfags ought just get training wheels while they're at it.
The only situation where helmets are reasonable is mountain biking.

The village I need to get thrrought to reach my train is a huge mess in terms of city-planning. Sure, you can easily get to it with a bicicle due to a nice bike road connecting it with my village (fully seperated from traffic with a pit and a metal barrier, road has great quality)
However, to reach the train station, you need to get throught a horribly narrow hellhole with next to no cycling roads and streets with plotholes.

I don't use it when navigating throught my home village tho, due to straight, easily-to-observe streets and a cycling road or at least cyclist protection strip pretty much everywhere

It isn't about your HEAD it's about your BRAIN. Every other part of your head can be repaired or heal. You fuck up your BRAIN and you're either a vegetable or you're dead. Care to re-assess your logic, here? Or are you going to continue to hide behind flawed logic when the real reason is you're so insecure and self-conscious that you'd rather put yourself at risk than ride around feeling like people are "looking at you" or somesuch shit?

How about you and everyone else in this thread who are anti-helmet grow up and take responsibility for your own safety with the perfectly reasonable precaution of WEARING A BICYCLE HELMET WHEN YOU RIDE instead of making the rest of the world responsible for you when shit goes wrong and your brain is mush inside your skull?

Trying to reinforce your argument with anger only makes it more obvious how weak it is. This isn't kindergarten where the louder you shout the more right you are.

Helmet alone does not make you safe. It only offers a limited protection against certain type of head injuries that are not even that common in bicycle accidents. If you crash bad enough for this to matter you're fucked anyways. It doesn't matter if you can be patched back to health after a month in a hospital. You are not safe. This is not what safety is. Helmetfags spend a lot of effort to ignore this point. Anyone who tells you to wear helmet for safety but doesn't mention other gear is a dangerous idiot and should be treated as such. Let alone if he's sperging out over such a simple matter like a little kid who got his candies locked away in a cupboard.

Babby's first internets? Never been anywhere else? Does your nanny not allow you to go anywhere else?

You CANNOT escape the facts: Bicycle helmets are a reasonable safety precaution. The harder you fight against them, the more convinced EVERYONE is that you're just spoiled crybabies, rebelling like the children you are emotionally-speaking, allowing your immature emotions to override logic and reason. You need to GROW UP and accept responsibility for your own safety, not throw temper-tantrums. How do you expect to ever get a girlfriend when you can't even control your own emotions? Do you want to be alone the rest of your life?

If you had a girlfriend, she'd INSIST that you wear a helmet when you ride a bicycle. Because she CARES about you, and doesn't want to LOSE you. Or are you such a heartless immature child that you'd make her cry?

I wear a helmet to reduce (by several orders of magnitude) the g-forces that my brain experiences in a collision. Also in the chance that something angled is the subject of head-ground interaction, it will help my head be less of an egg.

Brain injuries are caused by any large movement of the brain in the skull. If the impulse to your head comes through a helmet it will be mitigated to a large extent.

I've been in so many crashes, it's not even funny anymore, some due to being drunk and stupid, some due to challenging the laws of physics, some due to scooters and cars hitting me. So many crashes, so many injuries, but never even a single crash on my head. I've never even owned a helmet in 25 years of cycling. I know one day I'll probably land on my head just right an die, but so be it. Our ancestors didn't wear helmets when hunting woolly mammoths and being attacked by saber-toothed tigers and they still lived somehow.

So what? A waste is a waste, no matter how small. You might scare people with propaganda or heavy fines into wearing one, but let's face reality - vast majority of casual commuters who don't go fast or ride in heavy traffic never got and will never ever get into an accident where a helmet would be of any help. So good luck convincing them they didn't throw that money away for nothing.
Rather than helmet, many more would actually find gloves more useful. Road rash on palms is nowhere near lethal, but is a literal pain to deal with.

If you're just leisurely riding around town, I don't think a helmet is necessary unless you're accident prone.

I'd much rather avoid splitting my face open if I'm going to have to deal with a concussion. Plus, you're more likely to have your face exploded driving a car than riding a bike.

I don't use a helmet because I think it to some degree ruins my experience and comfort. But going so far to fetch every straw to try to argue it's safer is just stupid imo. I see where he is going, but he could just say as it is. I don't wear a helmet because I don't like it and not try to argue by bending statistics to fit the cause.

>its almost as if the helmet breaking absorbs some of the kinetic force of the impact into the motherfucking chemical bonds that bind helmets materials together and it secondarily acts as a damper, reducing the force over time aka the momentum.

How come in the Netherlands, where people regularly use bikes for practical purposes in their day-to-day lives, nobody wears a helmet? Are they a nation of madmen, or is it simply that you don't need a helmet for everyday cycling? Racing or downhill mountain biking, that I can understand. But just like F1 drivers wear helmets and regular drivers don't, you absolutely don't need a helmet for a leisurely bike ride.

Most of 'em prob don't wanna mess up their hairdo, also depending on where you have to leave your bike when u go to work having a helmet with you might not be very easy to do since if you leave your helmet on your bike it can be easily stolen if the bicycle is outside on a rack.

Listen, buddy, and anyone else in this horrible waste of a thread: IDGAF if you want to wear a helmet or not. Personally I think you're nuts if you don't, but it's your call. Where I have a problem is when someone devalues me or anyone else who *chooses* to use a bike helmet when they ride. Seriously, who the hell do you think you are to judge someone else? It's none of your business and you should keep your piss and vinegar to yourself. Frankly, all it does is make you look like an immature, self-centered, anal-retentive jackass when you do that. Worse, we all know you're cowards, and if you didn't have the Internet to hide behind, you'd keep your big mouth shut because you know you'd get a beating for flapping your lips like you do here. So how about (You) and everyone else keep your shit to yourself, and people will do as they please regardless? Nothing you say is going to change anyones mind, and nothing *we* say is going to make you be less of a jerk on the inside. So just knock it off and *ride your bikes* and DGAF about this nonsense.

I'm normally a tolerant and understanding person and try to justify others' actions even if they do something obviously stupid but I still have absolutely no idea what has to go through one's mind to throw such an autistic fit over something as petty as someone halfway across the globe not wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle.

>Lmao. You obviously don't ride enough to know how quickly and how hard you can eat pavement on a road bike. It's a split second between hands on bars and doing somersaults on the asphal
i always feel this when riding a bmx
like the big bike is so wonky feeling, (though fast) it feels like you are riding in the bike as opposed to on top of it
its actually pretty cool how on instinct you can just instantly stop a bmx bike but like big bikes are sooo much more difficult to just handle

so ive always felt like a dork wearing a helmet but i was like "nah' its fine, youre just wearing a helmet" and for years and years i would occasionally wear my helmet and feel like a dork every time

well recently i superglued a mohawk, unicorn horn, and ears onto my helmet from some kids helmet and i wear it around sometimes and have the same exact feeling of dorkiness wearing this shit as i did without it. so without a doubt i now know wearing a helmet makes you a fucking dork. i also have respect for people who wear helmets as i know they respect themselves and their own life

your posts didn't make me mad or anything but you're pretty dumb dude, like Liberal Arts degree kinda dumb.

Hitting a hard concrete surface with your noggin is like taking a baseball bat to the head. Would you like to wear a foam-plastic composite helmet in that situation? Or naw, that shit won't do nuttin' against muh rotational acceleration!!!
