I am trying to find the study, but iirc it was that in the US cars drive more carefully when they see a cyclist w/o a helmet, resulting in fewer collisions. Doubtless in case of a collision you’d be better off with the helmet, but at a high enough speed it won’t matter anyway. I used to play basketball with a personal injury lawyer who flat-out stated that the % of situations he’s seen where a helmet actually helped was very small. I don’t wear one for many reasons; and I don’t judge anyone else’s decision.
