if we're talkin' minor crash the light will keep nesting in the vent hole or will just pop out.
If it's -knock on wood- a serious impact that will crack the helmet dome open then the light will certainly drop aside loose. I guess possible harm could result from directly hitting a hard surface dome first so that the helmet cracks up AND the light is pushed to hammer the top of the skull. This latter case seems much less likely to happen while road cycling than trail riding (rocks, tree trunks, ditches etc). It's only logical to imagine a road cyclist crashing down with the side, front or rear aspect of his head taking the first serious impact on the tarmac, unless he has performed any funny aerial before landing (like hittin a car at full speed and rolling over).
Just an amateur oppinion i guess. But then again, let's think of how great a service and security a helmet light offers
