I like to wear helmet for extra protection against a fall. I do agree
that for me even running with a helmet would be good since I have no
balance to run anymore. However, Frank is I think in the minority about
helmets and while he may have data to support it sometimes we humans
overlook data. I rely sometimes only on intuition and what I think might
be good. I really don't understand the length's Frank goes to dis
helmets but maybe I am simply taking it more than it is. Small news
group so?

 
 
 
 
There weren 597,000 bicycle related traumatic brain injuries treated
in emergency hospitals in the US alone.

 
99% are "I think I might have bumped my head"
 
PS Half a million brain injuries ? Is this over a month?
No wonder they voted wrong.
I'd vote wrong if I had a brain injury.

Btain injuries are among the most serious consequences of bicycle
accidents and include concussions, moderate to severe traumatic brain
injuries and post-concussive syndrome.
 
But Frank tells us that these injuries do not exist in his universe.

 
 
 
 
Shadow, those are HOSPITAL EVALUATED injuries and not your idea of "I
think I bumped my head". These are SHOWN on an MRI as was mine. I
suggest if you don't understand what is being said that you simply ask a
question. We are happy to answer your questions.
 
When they say "traumatic brain injuries, that meand they have been
diagnosed either with x-rays which show major damage or Magnetic
Resonance Imaging which shows everything.

 
Maybe, maybe not.  The Medical Billing racket (formerly the
medical services racket) doesn't report anything to anyone
with an ulterior motive or angle, or kickback or some such.
 

Tom is mistaken if he believes that one needs a scan to verify a brain
injury, they are very impressive machines but not infallible and the size
location is only one aspect, more important is symptoms which can be used
to diagnose and indeed in time assessment of said brain injury, these are
beyond the scope of A&E department taking a month or so and multiple
different specialists.

But A&E can suggest that if symptoms suggest so, though would normally see
a specialist before that, as it’s quite intense thing to go though.
