Walking helmets

[Geriatrix]

April 1 so time to look at the way the absurd tries to squeeze its way into reality.

I never knew it, but pedestrian helmets have been promoted in all seriousness in Denmark:

Perhaps it's time to a change in tack and take on the Cracknell's of this world on their own ground by promoting compulsory walking helmets. The absurdity may give pause for thought for those think cycle helmets are a good idea (the risk is that the idea may be successful )

There has also been Japanese research on walking helmets for children and Australian on driver helmets.
