Now, I'm a pro-helmet rider, but......

Not sure if this vid has been posted before, and I don't have the time to do a thorough search, so if it has, let me know and I'll remove the post.

I am pro helmets, but this vid is food for thought....at least along one line.



and another.




Cheers,

Awesome excuse if Mr Plod pulls you over for not wearing a helmet!

Yep, been posted for the last 2 maybe 3 years about this time of year. Usually by anti MHL supporters.
I think it's very misleading, I know for a fact that they not only swoop people with out helmets (me for one BH's) and at that time had heard about others who had to have stitches after being struck by particularly aggressive birds.

Ok, if it's been posted before, I'll lock the thread then.

But first, how can it be misleading?
Whilst I also know of cases of school kids being swooped while walking to school (no helmet required to walk), the video evidence speaks volumes.

Helmet on - maggie swoops
Helmet off - maggie stays in tree.

Please explain????

They'd still swoop pre-compulsory helmet days. Don't be fooled by that.

It's obviously a stooge magpie for the anti MHL brigade.
The anti pokie control brigade will be chasing its number next thing we know.

Yep obviously.

Us 'anti MHL brigade' types have been busy. Not only have we employed stooge magpies. But we have manufactured entire continents just to help our argument. Europe is a completely staged and manufactured by MHL supporters. And don't get me started on what the anti-MHL brigade has done in Asia.

Simple really, we have no idea of the circumstances or the testing conditions.
Of course I know some believe everything on youtube is real.

Quite happy to arrange for some of the believers of the non helmet non swoop to demonstrate with some of our worst offenders. You know the type, the ones that hit the helmet so hard the head moves.
Feel free one and all.

Helmet on - this particular maggie swoops this particular person
Helmet off - this particular maggie stays in tree when this particular person cycles by

Fair enough.
