I'm struggling to understand this whole line of thinking. I've always worn a helmet simply because it made sense. Fallen dozens of times. The other day I came off on the ice and walked away with a headache rather than a hospital visit.
I've never fallen down the stairs. Are you suggest the two are comparable?
And are you trying to say cyclists shouldn't wear helmets? And if you're going to make that argument would it also apply to mountain bikers/motorcyclists/skiers?

I’ve also fallen off loads and never hit my head once. I only ever wore a helmet in BMX races as a kid 30+ years ago. Didn’t hit my head then either.
I think this thread is saying it should be up to the rider/skier/whatever to decide what they wear.
Not the State at the guidance of shoddy journalism.

Simple: People suffer head injuries in variety in incidents (non cycle related) where a helmet may have helped. It'll be interested to see patterns, and causes of head injuries that may have been prevented with a helmet
