Personally, I have cracked open a helmet once. On a quiet country lane, with no traffic. Pot holes can catch you any time.

I don’t remember the crash, just the slide.

That is what makes me tell people to wear helmets.

Respect to the computer scientist who sorted that out. That has got to be an extremely satisfying bug to fix.

My cycling club mandates helmets, so not a problem. Only really come up with the hire bikes in cities etc.

Nope, I was to busy being miserable about having a broken collar bone.

It’s all about risk tolerance. It was thought that improved brakes on cars would hugely improve safety. However it had a much smaller affect as people just braked later… There is a level of acceptable risk that everyone has, increasing safety measures just means they take more risks up to that level.

Helmets make people feel safer so they do more risky things and therefore hurt themselves more in other ways.

Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t wear one though!

Has the economy 2.0 patch launched?

Looking it up, it doesn’t sound like it. Looks to be planned for later this month.

My understanding is that they are making the economy harder and completely removing the government subsidies that small cities get that make them absurdly easy. Other changes include making utility exports less lucrative and roads etc more expensive.
