> Bottom line, I don't care what statistics show, either in favor or > against, nor will I EVER. I will ignore them over my own gut intuition
I am the complete opposite-- I believe statistics-crazed sports nerd is the term of art here. My gut would like to be informed by accurate statistics on the increased risk posed by my cycling without a helmet, before it supplies me with intuition on whether to wear one. My gut already knew that some cyclists have had head injuries, and other cyclists have not. My gut is therefore markedly unimpressed by anecdata from neurologists who only see people with head injuries and do not treat the many perfectlly healthy cyclists who return from rides without having injured their heads, and equally unpersuaded by cyclists who announce that they ride without a helmet and haven't had a head injury. -- -- Anne Paulson My hovercraft is full of eels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
