How bicycle helmets are engineered to distract from murderous car drivers and crap infrastructure

I'd love to know how cars suddenly got involved when rolling down some sweet single track on a mountain, doing tricks in a BMX set, or when racing fellow cyclists through a closed course.

Bicycle helmets are also valuable in bike-on-bike and single vehicle crashes.

... did you even watch the video? you can be miles away from the nearest car and still benefit from a helmet. yes, cars are dangerous and we can better multi modal infrastructure, but your comment doesn't apply here at all

I know someone who was knocked off by a rogue driver. Really sent them flying and the injuries took months to heal. They said that if it wasn’t for the helmet - which took a lot of impact - they’d be dead.
