So with 270,000 injuries and 800 deaths, your quibble is that 5% vs 95% is indistinguishable?
Responses:
I'm just saying that until you factor in the overall percentage of helmet usage and factor out fatalities that would have been fatalities anyhow...

No, it is likely far higher I would think. That said, my argument is not that helmets don't cut down on injuries.

Who's been arguing that they aren't safer? Let's not confuse putting numbers into perspective (ala Bery's 95%) and denial that they work at all.

Statistics on their own don't mean anything. They just suggest things. -- nm
