That's fine but it doesn't really address the OP original post that mentions 97% of dead cyclists were not wearing helmets.
I'd say those 97% were dead from collisions with motor vehicles and a helmet doesn't help save a life in that situation.
I believe there is a lot of misunderstnding on this point and a lot of cyclists wear helmets because they think it will save their life in a collision with a motor vehicle, but that's just me (I could be wrong)
Isn't the real goal trying to avoid collisions with vehicles in the first place. Some guys in Missouri came up with a clever idea to enhance the helmet. It is a cycling shirt to ward off would be aggressive drivers in the first place.
