it really can happen - another helmet issue - Beware!
This guy probably really would have lived if he'd had a hard hat on. Carrying bags in his hands is a big mistake too - even worse IMO. Sad story...

A local tram line warning. On average two people per week are operated on due to accidents along the Glenelg tram tracks. From Bike SA Enews of 19-Jun-2012 – http://www.bikesa.asn.au/eNews-19-June-2012
These cyclists lived to tell their tales. Nothing to do with tramlines but objects caught in the wheels.
An AC member warned others.

Nothing wrong with that word either.
At least there hasn't been a reference to Malicious Health Lectures (MHL) yet.

Im still not convinced wearing a helmet can protect you from impact. I mean boxers only wear head gear cos it looks cool right? F1 drivers just wear it for advertising right?
I sure wouldnt be here without my helmet saving my walnut a few times thats for sure.

Really, you're going to compare F1 at speeds over 300kph to cycling? That's some strawman argument. Also boxing, where you score points by punching the other guy in the head?
If you're going to weigh into the MHL debate, stick to your last point, it has far more credibility than wild analogies.

I think what DR is getting at is that Helmets may not protect you from every impact.If the impact is hard enough or a an awkward angle then it may not protect you.
