The stereotype of a skier is a person sitting in the lodge with a cast on their leg from a crash. The stereotype of a bicyclist was never a person with head damage from a crash. Those leather hairnets gave little protection, but apparently it was enough. The big push to wear them in the '80s was the need "to set a good example for the kids" at their mothers' insistence, not because bicyclists were getting head injuries all the time whenever they crashed. A solution without a problem. All the coy graphics in the world won't change that.
