There is a counter point from a brain surgeon: https://www.cnet.com/news/brain-surgeon-theres-no-point-wearing-cycle-helmets/ https://www.cnet.com/news/brain-surgeon-theres-no-point-wear... There were reports of increased rates of basal skull injury, i.e. the same injury many race car drivers suffered (Dale Earnhard) and for which HANS device was invented. So on one hand you would be protected in simple accidents but on the other hand exposed to more serious ones.

A counter point to your counter point from another brain surgeon. https://road.cc/content/news/121280-cycle-helmets-save-lives-says-neurosurgeon-ongoing-helmet-row https://road.cc/content/news/121280-cycle-helmets-save-lives... Which actually makes the point I was trying to make initially; there is no consensus.
