Bicycle helmets: lack of efficacy against brain injury

W J Curnow. Accid Anal Prev. 2006 Sep.

Abstract

This paper is a rebuttal of the criticism by Hagel and Pless of my 2005 article in which I dispute the conclusion of a Cochrane Collaboration review that all types of standard bicycle helmet protect against injury to the brain. The main ground of rebuttal is that my critics take the relevant efficacy of helmets as given and argue from there.
