'Helmet saved me from serious head trauma' - Mattias Skjelmose resumes training just days after heavy Paris-Nice crash​



I read a confession like that at lest once per season. It's time to extend safety apparel in pro cycling beyond just helmet. It's basically the only thing with proven track record to actually work.

People being against something that turned out to work well, doesn't mean that everything people are against works well.

Last time i have seen it in action was when Lindsey Vonn fell. I do understand the scepticism and lets first do a couple of testimonials more in other sports, like we have done with helmets in regards to pro peloton. But note that we can't wait to convince every flat earther before moving forward. Two decades back not everybody believed helmets are the way to go either.
