On first reading I thought you meant "bar helmets" and then
wondered how drunk you'd have to get to warrant wearing a
helmet in a bar? :-/

Sorry Graeme. Is that a northern expression then? Sometimes
I think I'm speaking (typing) as the Queen herself would
deem appropriate and then I realise I sound like an extra
from Emmerdale Farm :-)

It's like a bar tat, as in "On Ilkley Moor bar t'at".
That's an tale about a young man who ventured forth onto
said moor without his helmet, and before he knew it he had
caught his deeth and ended up deed and buried, feeding the
worms, who were fed on by ducks, who were fed on by the
original story teller, who therefore fed indiractly on the
original miscreant. So, children, always wear your helmet,
or someone will eat you. Sadly, "On Ilkley moor bar
t'elmet" didn't rhyme.

I assumed it was a special helmet to fit over the
handlebars, to protect them from injury.

So if someone developed a "full body helmet" then they could
effectively sell "clothing" totally vat free?

Yes, Adrian, they could do just that.

I've never heard the tale recounted quite that way,
Trevor. But then again I am from Lancashire so whadda I
know, bye gum.

No, it's a perfectly normal expression, my comment was more
a sign of how my mind works (or rather doesn't) :-)

My sister works in the INtensive care unit of a local hospital and tells me that falling off bar stoools when drunk is quite a common cause of head injury amongst the patients in her ward . This is exactly the sort of injury that could be prevented by wearing a cycle helmet. Are there any MPs out there willing to sponsor a private members bill to make bar fly helmets compulsary? Or should we really be looking to shift the burden on the the dealers: ie force all bars to fit deep pile carpets?

Yes, but I don't know how you'd be able to make a case to
claim it back as being essential for business unless your
name is Lance...

If they went back to the old days of sawdust on the floors
you could just pile it on a bit thicker. :-)

Of course it can only protect them from minor scratches and
dings. In serious crashes the extra rotational force might
actually increase damage to the headset.

It would be interesting (and useful) to know whether these
actually outnumbered cycling head injuries.

Probably not, as this would affect most of the honourable
members themselves.
