Children should wear bicycle helmets.

John Doe

According to peer-reviewed, medical journal published doctors,
neurosurgeons, and research scientists from around the world, a
properly fitted bicycle helmet helps reduce serious head injury among
children.

Time to stop feeding this tedious troll I think. For refutations see

I assume they could remove their helmets at bedtime, but then perhaps not
they might fall out.

Beyond that, "Some people argue that helmets are effective if 'properly
worn'. How those words have haunted me through many years! Apart from
some racing cyclists, I hardly ever see a cycle helmet worn properly.
Cycle helmet retention systems are the worst of all. I consider it one
of my biggest failings that I have not persuaded the helmet industry to
come up with something much better. God knows, I have tried! Anyone who
wears a cycle helmet will know just how long it takes to adjust the chin
strap so that the helmet is both reasonably comfortable and sits firmly
in place on the head. Try adjusting a cycle helmet on a infant's head –
it's a nightmare and in my experience hardly ever achieved
satisfactorily. In the HPE laboratory we have examined many cycle
helmets that were manufactured in such a manner that correct adjustment
was completely impossible."

That quote is from Brian Walker, one of the leading experts on the
mechanics of helmets, and whose company Head Protection Evaluations is
the principal UK test laboratory for helmets and head protection systems
of all kinds

So what now? Though you accuse people here of having a "religion", it's
your actions that have all the hallmarks. Rather than shout "heresy"
when someone disagrees with you, you shout "troll", and you try and
"prove" your point by just reciting the same mantra from your prophets
without ever questioning them. Yesterday you said science wasn't really
necessary as it was obvious anyway, so why call on science to try and
prove your case now? Science isn't about repeating mantras from
prophets who you trust unquestioningly, it's about asking questions and
answering them with reproducible observation. The flagship studies you
like to cite are not reproducible, or they'd all come out with similar
numbers: Thomspon Rivara and Thompson can't even manage the same numbers
between their own papers! One thing that /is/ reproducible is serious
head injury rates not being changed by helmet wearing rates.

We've seen your list before and we weren't impressed, and we said
exactly why we weren't impressed and illustrated our reasoning with
examples. We've answered all the questions you've raised, but the best
you can do when asked one in return is post your list again and/or shout
"troll". You have ceased to have any credibility because you have
demonstrated you are incapable of thinking for yourself and answering
questions with answers rather than mantras.

So when faced with a description of how your behaviour makes you a
religious zealot, you do exactly what was predicted by your being a
religious zealot... Reproducible results show you're a religious zealot
with little or no understanding of the issues at hand or ability to
address issues raised with reasoned debate.

Since you either can't or won't engage in either reasoned debate or
scientific inquiry it's time to let your existing posting record of
avoiding the issues raised speak for itself, since you won't or can't
manage anything new.

Sure I couldn't agree more but please snip the inane drivel they write

According to peer-reviewed, medical journal published doctors,
neurosurgeons, and research scientists from around the world, a
properly fitted bicycle helmet helps reduce serious head injury among
children.
