The other thing wrong with the quote I posted is that it doesn't specify that the bareheaders suffered serious traumatic injury to the head, where a helmet might have mitigated injury, only that helmet use was the only statistical difference between those who suffered either traumatic injury or serious traumatic injury.
If I may interject, if you're still discussing that commuter study, it found
no statistical difference in the case of traumatic injury, between helmeted and non-helmeted. A slight difference in "serious" traumatic injury (ie, needing medical attention).
