Yeah I think you are right there.. If I fall off at 30mph then Yup I’m gonna be hurt. It has been known for helmets to have little or no effect at speeds like this. I could mention TT’ists being hit from behind, but then the thread will go soooo far off tangent that it’ll orbit Pluto.
“Queues up for the naysayers”
I have fallen off on many occasions, been knocked off roadies all my life, slides, slips, rear ends spinning out, front end loss, brake failures, decents, accents, corners, straights,fast and slow, being front ended by puke waggons, pushed off by buses, turned into, pushed off by mates even, spoke failures, potholes, drains, white lines, cobbles, gravel, dust, mud, field run off, cowshite, moss, diesel, water, rain, fog, dry, snow, ice, tub rolloffs, punctures, crossing roads, entering and exiting junctions, racing, training, going to the shops, going to the pub, commuting, stupidity. All of these and all of them I’ve either been, or not been, wearing a helmet.
I’m still here.
And you love me for it.
