Yeah helmets are excellent for cycling sports like road racing or downhill mtb, situations where the crash is caused by something below the bike and you go over the bars head first. They don’t make much of a difference in most cases when you’re being hit or going under an automobile at speed.
What about low speed collisions where the impact does kill you but your head hitting the curb like a melon does?
My city has 20mph zone in most locations now so most collisions aren’t fatal directly but you’re still going to hit the ground

Ever been to The Netherlands? Whole dang country is cycling in a 20mph zone without a helmet.
