Some argue that helmets, in a some cases, actually cause your head to hit something. Such as the pavement. I mean, wearing a helmet does add anywhere from half an inch to an inch+ of foam to the sides, top, back, and front of your head.
Whether this effect makes a big difference or not, I don't know, but I do find this to at least be a possibility.
I know the other day I was wearing my helmet as I came into the house and managed to hit my helmet (and by extension, my head) with the freezer door as I opened it.
I've never once hit my bare head with the freezer door.
