Sorry I can't see how you can draw that conclusion. At best you can say that his head would've looked less ****ed up if he wasn't wearing a helmet but you can't say that he was saved by it.

Without further details about the accident you can conclude absolute jack all. Repetition of the "always wear your helmet" mantra does nothing but divert attention from the issues that really cause people to perish on the roads - riding skills and those that are out of our control (drunk drivers etc).

I don't want to start a helmet debate here, feel free to pm me to continue.
