Ask yourself this: would you rather get in a collision and survive it, or not get in a collision at all? Helmets target the former, whereas a comprehensive cycling strategy based on safe, continuous infrastructure targets the latter.

Unfortunately this thought experiment only works for people who actually cycle on the roads. Those who exclusively drive cars will have zero injuries whether they are involved in a car/bike collision or not.

Perhaps this is why helmet laws seem mostly to be pushed by people who don't ride.
