I wonder if Mr. P. Clich's American counterpart, also a medical physicist
shares mentioned in this article
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/05/15/mangled.helmet.ap/index.html shares his
views about funny foam hats?

I certainly munged up my grammar. Sorry group. Sorry about munging up your
name too, Peter.
I will generally wear my funny foam hat when I ride on two wheels, less
generally when I ride on three wheels, but I never put on my lightning rod
with grounding strap hat.

This should have been cross-posted to every focking cycling newsgroup
on Usenet. ;)
If the cyclist had been practicing vehicular cycling on the street
instead of riding on a MUP, he likely would not have collided with the
truck.
And why does the article say Milwaukee when the accident happened in
Madison? Doesn't AP have access to a map of Wisconsin?

Mr. Clinch can correct me if I am wrong about his employment, but I gather
from his signature that he is not a medical physicist, but rather one who
has primary responsibility for making the computers operate properly in his
employer's Medical Physics Department.
Personally I do not need a medical physicist to tell me what the
possibilities are when an automobile wheel with the connected automobile
body runs over a human skull. But Mr. Clinch may want to poll the medical
physicists in his department on that question for his own enlightenment.

Correct, though my post requires me to hold at least one degree in
a physical science.

The /possibilities/ are considerable either way (see, for example
http://www.reporter-times.com/?module=displaystory&story_id=29691&format=html).
But since having a vehicle involved puts things well beyond the
design specifications of cycle helmets they can't be expected to
change the outcome much, whatever they may be.
At a departmental journal club presentation I went over Robinson's
2006 BMJ paper and Hagel et. al's reply. The medical physicists in
the audience didn't find anything clearly wrong with Robinson's
work, but did seem to agree with me about the glaring holes in
Hagel's.
Skulls do break, but are more usually remarkably strong things.
Cycle helmets, OTOH, aren't, as is clear when you read the
specification to which they're made.
Pete.

Just as I thought! He is nothing but a presumptuous jackass who wants to be
thought more important than he really is. I have been complaining about his
signature for years. I do not know how you get to be such a complete
jackass. I think you have to be born that way.

Fuck him and his stupid signature! Why can't others on this newsgroup have a
sane and modest signature like mine.

It appears, from the pictures, that the truck didn't run over anyone's
skull.
If he hadn't been wearing a helmet, it seems the wheel would not have
gone over anything, merely passed near his head. Personally, I prefer
trucks that pass near me than that run over something attached to me,
but obviously you disagree. You are welcome to your preference, but
I'm really not sure in what way this is supposed to support wearing a
helmet.
