Unhelmeted riders have a serious trauma rate (medical attention sought for an injury) on the order of once every 8 years.
Apparently the helmet-hating Dutch people need medical attention for a bicycle accident on average once every 93 years and 9 months.
They end up in the E.R. every 1125 years and 2 months
And are admitted to a hospital every 5625 years and 8 months.
