"Moreover, one-third of children hospitalized for a bicycle-related injury were diagnosed with traumatic brain injury, a statistic that is significant for its correlation to the number of injuries that may be preventable through the use of bicycle helmets. "The findings from our study can be used to promote targeted prevention strategies to lessen the severity of injury and the number of deaths resulting from pediatric bicycle-related injuries," Smith said. "We know that bicycle helmets can reduce the risk of brain injury by up to 85%. We need to increase efforts to promote helmet use by children riding bicycles.""

I crashed descending on my road bike once - back of my head bounced off the asphalt and slammed my lower jaw rearward. It hurt. I wasn't wearing a helmet... I rode back to the car and lived!
I crashed descending on my MTB once - I face planted into the dirt and scraped up my face. It hurt. I was wearing a helmet (it broke)... I rode back to the car and lived!
