I've always been of the mind that all head injury that aren't superficial are caused by the brain moving inside the skull, which as far as I'm aware, no helmet can do.
I was also informed that anything that would crack a skull would quite easily make it through a bit of foam.
But helmets do stop surface damage, cuts etc.
That's my view, others exist. I wear one though 95% of the time because if I ever have an accident, I don't want anyone to say I wasn't wearing a helmet etc etc.
