For those wondering why helmet laws were brought up. The below quote
is in the article and why I brought it up.
"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. They said that they already
participate in many prevention programs in Tucson, which is a very
bike-friendly city.
and so, their opinions and not part of the research
“That’s where future efforts need to focus in on—making helmets that
really make a difference,” Dr. Joseph said.
I don't think anyone would complain about efforts to make helmets better
and more effective. Note the wide-spread interest in MIPS.
“Ultimately, the important message is patient care and how we can make
our patients safer and more protected. We need to take this data and
take it to the next level and move forward with policy and injury
prevention, especially for the younger age groups.”
Are helmet laws for children controversial? (I honestly have no idea.
Many local jurisdictions around where I live have them, and if people
have complained I haven't noticed.)
I'm not against helmets, I'm against you telling me or forcing me or
instructing me to wear a helmet because you think it's the safe way to
live. :)
I'm against criminalizing non-use too.
