One of the things that I think could help in the battle of lid laws is
using proper words.
For example head injury or traumatic brain injury (TBI). The two are
entirely different.
A head injury is *external* to the skull. A TBI is *internal* to the
skull.
So what. What is the big deal?
The big deal is this: a helmet, any helmet, cannot in anyway protect
the
brain from a TBI. It is utterly impossible for lid to do that.
Pertaining to a cervical spinal injury the British medical journal 'The
Lancet' produced a report back in the days of the twentieth century
titled (as I remember) "The Ideal Lesion Produced By A Judicial
Hanging."
Due to the positioning of a helmet and chin strap -- the effects of a
helmet or a noose on the cervical spinal column are identical.
This concept has been around for many centuries and was irrefutably
proven in 1687 by Sir Isaac Newton.
It is called the law of universal gravity.
It is also immutable.
