I not going to pretend I'm an expert in cycle safety or what ever but from my personal experience and from crashes I've seen, you rarely whack your head, but when people or myself have that extra bit of protection seems to always help. If anyone who has banged their head hard on the ground [or even softly] wouldn't have preferred something softening the blow then they must have a lot of head meat.
Its a shame that only people who try to sell helmets have done any research on the matter, some rigorous testing would help clear the matter up a bit. Anyway as i said in my first post let people wear/not wear at their discretion, but bad drivers have thought me it helps.
