Even not the two times I got hit by car (one left-hook, one right-hook). Even as kid while trying the dumbest things I only scratched hands and knees.

If I was commuting with a child in traffic, I'd make sure the kid wore a helmet. I don' see any point not to. Nobody really has any use for a helmet, until the one time they do.

Tyere's a hot-spot for it in East Anglia [UK], mostly descended from a Dutchman with the condition who came to bring Dutch drainage expertise to the draining of the fens in (I think) 15th / 16th century. @ dondare – or congenital aniridia.

Only wrecked three times and only two of those did I do -any- helmet damage. My wife's got 90K miles, a few more wrecks, and probably 99.9999995% of the time had no use for one either. But the two of those wrecks I'm convinced (as were the E.R. doctors) the crushed helmet saved her life (one was wind and the other a dog. Of course -your- mileage may vary.

They come under "tripping and falling" injuries which altogether take a larger toll than road accidents. Even just counting road accidents, more pedestrians die from head injuries than cyclists, simply because there are more pedestrians hit than cyclists and head injuries are more likely to kill than any other sort of injury. There is no logical reason why cyclists have to helmet up but pedestrians don't. In fact most pedestrian injuries do not involve motor vehicles (or bikes) but these do not count as road accidents.
