My point was find out if your post had a point.

Having established that you consider your post was pointless, I have
made my point.

Excellent news. I shall be sure to take larger risks in future, as that
seems to be safer. Errr...of what did said minister die?

There's a wonderful epitaph from a gravestone in Thurmont, MD, USA
"Here lies an athiest, all dressed up with no place to go"

I agree with Bob, that it likely helmets would protect on some level.
Where I disagree is the controlling attitude similar to rapist is with
sex. Bob (nor other proponents care about the net effect of any saving
of money, nor lives. All they care about is forcing their will upon
others. This is evidenced by the fact they do NOT agree with helmets
in cars which follows their theory perfectly (saves time and money) and
also by the fact they have the inability to be tolerant and accept
other people's choices. Finally the inability to admit they are wrong.

It's not about money or lives-it's about ego.
