Do you think that the percentage of all cyclists involved in a "crash" with a car and walk away uninjured or with insignificant injuries is anywhere near as low as that for the occupants of vehicles involved in all auto crashes?
Possibly, but you and I don't know either way.
We're talking about a conditional probability to begin with. "When you have a collision", the chances of suffering TBI. You can add "and hospitalized" to be precise.
