... and one of those drawbacks is the attention given helmets, takes away from the attention needed to avoid collisions/falls in the first place.
Even if a helmet does reduce injury from simple falls, falls are more likely to occur if attention is placed on a helmet and not behavior.
Maybe this is one reason why it is so difficult to determine if there has been any significant injury reduction with helmet use.
