1. Twisting the facts?

    What is the point of measuring from 1978 unless it is to mislead readers into believing the reductions in head injuries are the result of helmet wearing?

    Widespread use of helmets by child cyclists wasn't apparent until the 1990's. Significant road safety gains were made in most western countries in the last quarter of the twentieth century, mostly as a result of enforcement of drunk driving laws while kids were helmet-free.

    To compare current data across a 34 year span is meaningless.
