“I wondered how many posts it woould take before blame the victim crept in. A helmet is poor protection against an out of control or deliberate rammming or crossing into path with no notice by a car. Our family just buried a beloved member who suffered this fate. yes he was wearing a helmet.”
Did I blame the victim? No I did not. I was responding to a post admonishing folks to be safe. A helmet is certainly worth mention if you are also mentioning safe following distance.
I’m sorry for your loss. however, I stand by my question. Was the guy in question wearing a helmet, and what were his injuries? That is a valid question, and no it is not blaming the victim.
