The evidence for motorbike helmets working is apparently there, though. I was being socratic, and anyway, given how little I know about [motor]biking (e.g. "but the blokes at the MotoGP always walk off looking rueful after coming off at 3 brazilian mph because of their leather"), it's far from my position to be commenting.

The only large scale results for cycle helmets show a deleterious effect, that I do know for a fact.

The motogp guys do always look good, don't they? by garlic (2.00 / 0) #15 Thu Jun 01, 2006 at 08:43:29 AM EST
most of their accidents I've seen have been long skid type accidents into hay bails. unfortunately, other vehicles, and the roads in the US don't have hay bails on the sides. I know someone who lost his legs in a bike accident due to hitting a guardrail at speed.
