@lanodan @mametsuko thats incredibly irresponsible lmao

Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell:replied to Vriska Returns To The Sea last edited by@vriska @mametsuko Nah not really. Pedestrians or even runners don't wear any after all.
Specially as when you actually follow the money on "commuters need to wear helmets!", it's car industries. -

@lanodan @mametsuko my friend, you do not need to be hit by a car to fall off a bike and receive permanent brain damage
walkers and runners arent going 30mph

@lanodan @mametsuko do you think if you hit a weird rock at the wrong speed and flip your handlebars and brain yourself on a path you'll be okay because there wasnt a car involved

Studies show that the type of bike accidents that helmets help with mostly only occur during sport cycling -
@vriska @lanodan @mametsuko also helmet mandates cost more lives than they save on a statistical basis because they depress ridership and hence mean less people getting regular excercise from engaging in active travel

@vriska @mametsuko @lanodan i do put on the fucking helmet (especially when i’m nyooming around on my sport bike) but people as a whole will drive instead of cycle if you mandate helmets, and this is a repeatably demonstrated effect in many places where helmet mandates have been introduced!
