Cycling in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

I think you pretty much are proving this *is" victim shaming. "people doing stupid thing" "gullible people need to be reminded not to do dumb things". 

So yeah mentioning the helmet is shaming the cyclist (victim) for doing "dumb" things.  How is this still a discussion. 

By the way, you have no idea if this would still be reported. You don't know what the injuries are you are assuming they are head injuries because you believe wearing a helmet will usually mean one can walk away from being hit by a car. This belief isn't based in fact.

It is still a discussion because you refuse to accept that people have varying opinions that don't align to what you perceive as correct !!!

Not all opinions are equally valid, I find it absurd to suggest that someone isn't shaming a victim, when they immediately proceed to hold that victim up as an example of "doing dumb things", and complaining about "gullible" people.
