Helmets are designed for low speed impacts - like that caused by falling off of a bike when it is barely moving. Please read the link that I posted.

"The boy just flew" - no bike helmet is designed to protect you from being launched at speed. The helmet is a red herring in this story.

He should not have been travelling the wrong direction in the traffic lane. And the driver should have been more aware of her surroundings. As unexpected as his presence must have been, it is a driver's responsibility to be aware of EVERYTHING going on around them. I'm not saying it's the driver's fault. But what I *AM* saying is that the lack of a helmet is NOT the story here.

Also, this woman may be a health care worker but she is in no position to determine cause of death from her 7th storey window!
