I was posting people going OTB on MTBs because it's easy to find those videos!
But the point i was making was that hitting your head falling off a bike is significantly more likely than hitting your head falling over running or walking because when people fall off bikes they fail to let go of the handlebars, and hence are less likely to break their fall with their hands and arms. Those videos clearly show that effect, where people go OTB, and despite clearly being well past the point of no return, they death grip the bars until it's too late to get their hands out. If you looked at videos of people falling down when say running, i'm going to suggest that many more of them will show that person managing to at least start to break their fall with their hands before their head and body hit the ground.
The ultimate point was to suggest that you can't compare "falling over" with "falling off" as they are very different events, despite being outwardly similar.
Where does this common sense come from, if not from these studies?
How can you so completely misunderstand what common sense is?!
So many to chose from, but here's one:
I find it hard to believe that he wouldn’t have fractured his skull if he wasn’t wearing a helmet.
What education/science/evidence are you basing your anecdote on?
Not saying helmets should be compulsory, but just that claims that they are completely ineffective seem pretty hard to take seriously
Well done for arguing against a point that no one has made, many explicitly so.
