I think Edwin is on the track of the right question: exactly how dangerous is cycling? From the statistics I've read, not that dangerous, less dangerous than walking, IIRC.
Is cycling more dangerous than skiing? Do skiiers wear helmets? What about people showering in poreclain-covered bathtubs? Or climbing ladders to change light bulbs? Or crossing urban intersections on foot? Or running cross country? A helmet will make all the difference in the world, perhaps, if you fall in one of these situations, but is it worth our while to wear helmets for them?
