Well, you've demonstrated a critical need for improved reading comprehension about a dozen times now -- I was being charitable and hoping your problem was a lack of coffee. Turns out, it may be a lack of ability to understand, which you continually demonstrate as well.
68% of American cyclists do not wear helmets. I am far from the only person who is aware that they do not work -- I'm just one of extremely few willing to attempt to educate persons like yourself.
Again with the lack of comprehension. You are no less safe with the wind in your hair versus wearing a bicycle helmet.
It is amusing that you are so completely uninformed that you think peer review has value.

68% of American cyclists do not wear helmets. You hold the minority opinion.
It is a great argument to illustrate that you are completely clueless on this topic -- since you were just preaching about manufacturers rigorously testing their helmets. That is precisely not the case, which is why Virginia Tech University has had to step into the breach and develop a test program.
And you had absolutely zero clue about that, until I educated you. As with the remainder of this entire topic.
So are you willing to accept my challenge, or not? If I provide the statistics that I previously referenced, will you be an honest person and admit that you have been wrong?
VA tech has stepped in because they felt the CSPC tests weren't good enough though I am sure there are some manufacturers who don't test as well. However VA Tech creating better tests and rating helmets doesn't prove helmets are unsafe or bad.
68% of people don't wear helmets
I know the answer so this is more of a rhetorical question, where is your data? Also you are trying to claim these people believe what you believe which I know you don't have data on because it doesn't exist. People don't wear helmets for all number of reasons but I think most sane people would doubt it was because they felt they were actively unsafe and potentially dangerous as you are promoting. Regardless though people not doing something doesn't mean people shouldn't do it or that it is unsafe or dangerous. That is just silly logic. People frequently make decisions that aren't good for them. Tons of people still smoke or do hard drugs or drink excessive alcohol or other things that are reckless but that doesn't mean if a majority of people did it that it is good to do.
Now your articles have gone even farther off the deep end and have even less to do about helmets in the helmet thread. You really are going to great lengths to not support your opinion. It is amazing you hold such a ridiculous opinion but you won't actually stand behind it. You would think at the very least you would have posted those NHTSA studies you claim to have but you couldn't even do that. The best article you had was not one you posted and was just an extra one underneath one of the bicycling articles you posted and even that one was weak the first one's most damning strike against helmets was helmet hair which is neither dangerous nor a reason not to wear a helmet. Everything you post doesn't help you and your argument which is already super weak.
So your argument is now stemming upon someone else agreeing to some silly challenge that you have? You can't back up your argument it is OK that is fine just bow out.
You educated me? What did you educate me about, you not being able to stand behind your opinion or is it that there isn't all these studies you claim to be able to find easily? You educated me like the Jersey Shore show educates people as in not at all.
