Joanna Brigham's 12-year-old son Jules suffered multiple fractures to his
head when he crashed and landed on his face after performing stunts with
friends near his home.

The youngster had not been wearing a helmet because he thought he thought
the life-saving practice was 'uncool'.

Stupid is as stupid does as cyclists do.
Probably council estate scum.
Most cyclists are council estate scum.

Do all bicycle users spend their time trying to perform stunts?

Well quite, if someone believes that a device worn over the top of the
head protects the face. No different to you then.

Indeed, if he did a face plant wearing a helmet the protruding brow of the helmet could have snapped his head back and broken his neck. This appears to be a case of not wearing a helmet saved his life.

Well, at least the partially explains your bitterness. Your neighbourhood is full of cyclists and you can't afford one.

I would have thought the motion was in the wrong direction to snap the
head back. A full face might have helped. Nevertheless, another good
demonstration that falling off does produce the necessary rotation to
land head first.

Another sock puppet exposes his fucking stupidity. What _is_ it about
these retarded fucks that they actually believe they're doing anything but
exposing themselves as cowardly tits who don't even have the balls to post
using a real name?

We haven't heard that one for a while.

"Rotational forces" and "increased dimensions" (orsomething), wasn't it?

Apparently, if the outside dimensions of the head are that little bit
less because of the absence of a protective helmet, the head will
magically float above the road surface by the all important few
millimetres that the helmet is not adding and obviate all ompact and
impact injury.

It's been a few years since anyone tried that line on. The Medway
Handyman was particularly scathing about it.

Are cyclists not cheap to hire, then?

We hear so many reports of their property crimes that it seems logical
that they'd be willing and even desperate to work for money.

It's been a while since a technically ignorant person kept banging on
about hammers to try to prove something. Or that paramedics have
discovered a new branch of physics.

Hopefully, a 9 mm round.

I think you would need a Raufoss 211 to penetrate Medway's skull.

To be fair, he could be shot in the head and survive.

*guffaw*

Citing David Lang as a reference! What's next? David Icke?

The 'Medway Handyman' was also 'particularly scathing' about the way no one
seemed to take on board his belief that road tax exists, and that banning
cyclists from certain stretches of the A2 does not constitute 'a ban on
cyclists using the public highway'.

Put more succintly: what a stupid bastard.
