No, not really. We occasionally get a psuedo-EMT on the lists that
tells about all of the helmetless bicycle riders he or she hauls into
the emergency room, but I've found no emergency clinic that claims
such stats. Talk to an EMT at the next bike race and ask him how many
of his or her runs are for bike riders. Check out the traffic in the
local area - see how many are for bike riders. Stop at a sports or
long term treatment facility and see how many are there due to
helmetless bike riding. Damn few.

No, the EMTs are rushing to auto accidents, heart attacks, falls in
the bathtub, failure to breathes, on and on. Most of the bike
incidents? Small kids, helmet or no.

Long term care? Auto accidents, seizures, brain damage as a secondary
or tertiary situation of another medical incident. Damn few from
riding without a helmet.

Go back to your war, but try real targets.
