    Interesting read published yesterday in the Irish Medical Journal titled "Cycling Injuries Presenting to an Irish Emergency Department"

    Most are relatively mild but some pretty serious ones that make for difficult reading. The report just represents cycling-related injuries presenting to the emergency department at St. Vincent’s in Dublin from 1st Jan to 31st Dec 2014.

    It's a reasonable analysis, but it seems to separate skull fractures from other fractures. Only 2 skull fractures when there's a 80% non-helmet wearing reported.

    Then there's 13 face fractures where later there's 7 facial bone fractures. Maybe Jaws are included in face fractures and not facial bone fractures?
