I'm sure you can see that answer adresses two of the most glaring problems with the perceptions on helmets; that relative risk isn't considered, and that helmets are effective protection in collisions with motor vehicles.
Because some would have others believe helmets are made to withstand such forces, simple falls commonly result in brain injury, and a helmet is not just as means to end, but the end itself, people will continue to suffer injuries they otherwise may have avoided just as they have in countries that have mandated, and enforced universal helmet use.
