Huile sur le feu?

Je vais probablement exciter les ayatollahs du casse, mais voici un document récent passé sous le radar.


Why bicycle helmets are not effective in the reduction of injuries of cyclists.

New studies show that the effectiveness of bicycle helmets have been hugely overestimated in the past. At this moment, it is not even certain that there is a positive effect at all: an upper limit of its effectiveness is currently 6%. Promotion of the bicycle helmet is counterproductive from a health point of view.

Ouch!  L'ECF (European Cyclists' Federation) n'est pas un quelconque groupe réactionnaire.  Ce sont 38 pays, plus de 65 organisations cyclistes dont Vélo Québec.
