Whoops, you wrote it - perhaps it needs updating! ;-)

See how you live and learn? I have noticed that the only people not

Well, of *course* they won't.

It's so obvious that helmets will save you from all road traffic accidents that
any 'evidence' to the contrary simply must be just clever use of statistics to
misrepresent the true and obvious 'facts'.

There are a very few, myself being one. I used to have that foolish belief
that a helmet could protect like a magic forcefield, but no longer. The
first seeds of doubt were sown by some website I can no longer remember that
criticised the Aussie study, and then the rest of the convincing was on
here.

Seriously can you update it? I picked it up as someone was touting it
on another cycling group as good advice that should be promulagated.
And perhaps add a big Don't Panic on the front cover while you are at it
for those that think cycling is an inherently life threatening activity.

Yes, working on it. But the abstrad thing just chucked away a load of
work due to IE foolishness. Bah! I remember now why I stopped using
H2G2...
