Plus, in the Netherlands where basically everyone cycles without a helmet, cycling crashes are seen as inconvenient and embarrassing, but otherwise as mostly harmless, because people usually walk away from them without much in the way of injuries. This sort of implies that most of those AHSML stories are BS too, As in, people would have been just fine without their helmets.
