Wearing a Helmut Unsafe ?

Not in my book but it seems someone thinks so. Here's a link to the article.

What I want to know is where you have to go to get a grant to perform studies like this.

Yes some people hold that position but thanks Lord they are a minority. Empirical evidence shows that the benfits outweigh the cons.

I'm quite the believer in helmets, however.
