I have no idea what could be in your head to think that taking the precaution of wearing a helmet, would mean that contientious of a person would be less conscientious because of that conscientiousness????downunder wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 2:59 pmYes.
Because they (helmets) introduce false sense of safety.
Fact for u:
- I broke me back and was learning to walk again. Why I broke it? Because I thought Im safe of injuries. False.
- since than broke me collar bone and ankle.
How did helmet reduce my overall safety?
How did helmet helped to two people who broke a neck and one person who is not walking again, ever?
Not increases, dont reverse the theory. But not reduces either, unless crippled below the neck is better than be dead. Sure some ppl survived coz of the helmet. But also ppl survived in any other situation. More people drowned than hitting the head. And its not only head, correct? Internal injuries do not count?
There is no enough data to support any of the theories.
Yet, kiting is way more safe if, and only if we do not take this for granted. The best protection is to think, watch and keep distance.
Helmet does not do that for u.
And conversely, what could possibly make you think some one who chooses not to use safety gear, would try to operate more safely because they chose not to use that safety gear????
I am 100% confident that your logic is not entirely sound. But it is a perfect example of the mentality that leads to some of the easily preventable fatalities.
