Maybe if you linked to the thread in question, we could tell you why didn't get the support you think you deserve?

i always wear a helmet. i came off my bike. totally my own fault. did not hit my head but did hit the ground so hard everything went haywire & i could only see in black and white/did not know which way was up/could not speak etc.

...but because i was wearing a helmet, when the paramedics checked me over, they could quickly tell i did not bashed my head & i was going to be ok v soon. big relief for everyone & i did not use up expensive, limited NHS resouces. still had concussion for 3 weeks. makes you think how i would have been without it if my head had hit the road....

Soo glad to hear you were ok!

I wasn't wearing a helmet, I was young and thought I was invincible!! I was soo wrong. I ended up with a broken skull, speech and balance problems.
Totally avoidable if I'd been wearing a helmet.
Half the kids in the street cycle without one and it makes me sooo
I can't watch
