Fine. I did say I didn't read the article all that closely. Anyway,
that's just their opinion. Their work doesn't necessarily lead to that
conclusion.
What's more, none of us would object to efforts to get manufacturers to
make better helmets, and few would object to efforts to increase helmet
use -- indeed, many of us participate in such efforts now, ranging from
club-sponsored free helmet give-aways to lead-by-example.

Quoting from the article: "As a result of their findings, Drs. Haider
and Joseph said that the next step is to create injury prevention
programs to increase helmet use among bicyclists, to manufacture
better helmets, and to develop and enforce stricter laws for helmet use."

Umm...Eric...read the article again. The authors of the study
recommended mandatory helmet laws.

Well said, Steve. Nobody is suggesting mandatory helmets--on
bikes, in the shower, or elsewhere.

When did mandatory helmet laws enter this discussion? I
didn't read the article all that closely, but the gist of it
as I recall it is that the wearing of helmets was in fact
effective in the cases cited. That itself has been called in
question in the past, and it is worthwhile attempting to
answer it. And within that context, the introduction of
mandatory helmet laws/helmet wars is an irrelevant
distraction. One can be for the wearing of helmets but
against mandatory helmet laws; I am and I know many others
who feel the same way. In fact, although I know many, many
helmet users I don't know anyone who favors criminalizing the
not wearing of them.
