Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle..._helmet_debate
Recent research on traumatic brain injury adds further confusion, suggesting that the major causes of permanent intellectual disablement and death may well be torsional forces leading to diffuse axonal injury (DAI), a form of injury which helmets cannot mitigate and may make worse.[46] Helmets may increase the torsional forces by increasing the distance from the extremities of the helmet to the centre of the spine, compared to the distance without a helmet.
) bike helmets can be. The rounder a helmet is, the better, especially around the back.

trevor98: What sort of evidence, in your estimation, would support or refute the efficacy of helmets? In other words, what does constitute valid evidence, one way or the other?
