It's stating fact. He may well have survived if he was wearing a helmet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may well survive a stabbing if you wear a stab vest. You may well survive a shooting if you wear a bullet-proof vest. You may well survive getting run over if you never go out. Etc, etc. Sheffield Forum | The Sheffield Guide | The Sheffield Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
