@KermitMissPigg1 @laurencyclist A helmet won’t stop a concussion, though it may reduce the severity. Helmets are designed to reduce injuries such as skull fractures, haematoma etc, but limited evidence they prevent concussion. https://t.co/pFf4RoX6f9

@MedBonnevie @mohamett02 It’s also important to remind people don’t assume your helmet prevents concussion, so get checked out. Here’s a link to research we did on perceptions to helmet safety https://t.co/LOx1sWZgki

@CyclingLawLDN @lazersport @JumboVismaRoad Agree. the majority of helmets are only tested up to impact velocities of ~22km.h. Given the average speed of the World Tour peloton is ~42km.h impacts may be much greater than test standards. https://t.co/pFf4…
