It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

You should try reading the articles that you comment on. They specifically mention your concern.

“So it turns out that bicycle helmets and ski helmets have a lot in common in the design and safety features. There are even several ski helmets that have MIPS protection just like a bicycle helmet, which helps to protect against not only blunt force trauma but also rotational trauma that can be just as dangerous when your brain suddenly twists and turns in an impact. I chose one with MIPS for that added protection.”

Fair point, but then why not get a bike helmet designed for winter?

This "one weird trick" seems strange, since not everyone will have a ski helmet safe enough for cycling, but every cyclist should already have a helmet, and they can easily get a winter one without any "tricks".
