As the 'helmet expert' (a dubious honour) states a new or old helmet would not have helped prevent this particular injury, nor any injury above 12mph. Now, should I fall to the ground, from travelling at, say, 8mph, chances are the impact of a car travelling 30mph would make me accelerate. Helmets are just a joke in the case of vheicle collision. Look at the Rider down thread today. Most cyclist deaths occur due to HGV incidents! Forget this issue.
