Australia is a good example.
About 80% of the known cyclists wear helmets.
About 80% of the people who die each year from cycling were wearing helmets.
Helmets in that obvious statistic proves that helmets did nothing to decrease the number of cycling deaths.
The flawed reading of your own (uncited) statistics is seriously entertaining. How 'bout this? In helmet town %100 of people wear helmets, and guess what? %100 of people who die cycling in helmet town died while wearing helmets.
Another "obvious statistic" confirming your spurious line of reasoning.
"Your culture of fear" philosophy is interesting but it doesn't automatically defeat good sense and logic.
