On: Mandatory helmet laws make cyclists less safe

[ricardobeat]

Not true, if you look into the data there are more pedestrian head injuries than cyclists’. Or car accidents.

It might be conceivable that more people hurt their heads on a per-km basis walking than cycling, but I'd be extremely surprised that for the same individual, walking (or driving) a given distance would be more likely to result in a serious head injury than cycling it.
