My comment was addressing high speed accidents and I specifically stated that the difference in fatalities comes into play in accidents at lower speed.
By the way, quoting CDC hardly qualifies for research since they do no such thing, and lately, they have not even been reliably credible. But then everyone has their likes and dislikes, and that’s what makes life interesting. 😉
Sorry, but that's wholly unconvincing. According to your assertion, low speed accidents that cause head trauma are few in number. And yet, there is that 40% reduction in fatalities by helmet-wearing. Are you now going to say, "yes, I meant 40% is a small number."?
And had you bothered to dig a little, you'd have noticed that the info on the cdc site was simply quoting a study from the NHTSA.
