You're joking right?
I've been riding for about 18 years now and have broken THREE helmets in crashes - most recent was three weeks ago when a truck didn't see me and pulled out in front of me.

Not sure if any of these crashes would have killed me if I hadn't been wearing a helmet (I was) but it goes without saying that helmets reduce your risk.
