It's the Annex that's specifically about helmets, though it does take up a substantial chunk of the whole.Jdsk wrote: ↑22 Apr 2021, 6:09pmI was aware of that report and hope that others who comment on this topic are also.Steady rider wrote: ↑22 Apr 2021, 5:57pmTim Gill report on helmets and children is fairly good http://www.cycle-helmets.com/cyclingreport_timgill.pdf
Of course it isn't only "on helmets and children". It's titled "Cycling and Children and Young People" and covers lots of issues.
Have they reported again since 2005, please?
Tim Gill hasn't updated it, but he's apparently still happy to reference it and is active and approachable on social media channels and through his Rethinking Childhood website.
Where it needs updating is some of the organisations covered have changed their policy, generally towards a more helmet-neutral stance (e.g., Sustrans) so that's simply outdated, but the overall argument is much the same as it was in 2005: there is no smoking gun, there is a great deal of contradictory work, it may seem surprising to many that there is any controversy, and it's all a bit more nuanced and complex than is widely assumed.
There's (obviously) nothing referenced post 2005, but as most of what has appeared since then just means there's a bigger pile of contradictory evidence I don't think it would have swung things much, in line with Goldacre's & Spiegelhalter's assertion that more research probably won't help.
Gill's risk work on children's outdoor pursuits, Nothing ventured... is worth looking at too, as is the No Fear booklet which is a good eye-opener in to how "obvious" risk management techniques can be counter-productive.
