Logically Helmets for drivers and car passengers makes total sense.
My logic for wearing a helmet is less about the serious injury and more about the pain reduction. I’ve had two big crashes over the years, both resulted in me sliding on my head in a similar way to the breakdance move “the matchstick”. Had I not been wearing a helmet, I would have lost a lot of scalp…possibly losing an ear too.

Do you wear a helmet when walking? The stats show that head injuries whilst walking are more prevalent (adjusted for distance) than cycling.
(I'm pro-choice, but just trying to understand the logic behind helmet use.)
