Just over 4 per 100,000 children hospitalized with diagnosis of head trauma from bicycle accidents. For the math-tarded, that’s what we call very, very rare. Overall, all ages, death from bicycle accidents 35 per BILLION miles ridden. NO convincing evidence of a single instance in which a helmet would have prevented a death. Hardly makes one an “organ donor.” Worried about the helmet, but likely no effort to instruct on rles of the road, when running red lights is the principle cause of rider deaths. Dolts.

MeGoNow…first, your math reference is offensive and juvenile.
Second, helmets not only prevent death, but, far more often what they prevent is injuries from being more significant.
