The Dutch Reach: Clever Workaround to Keep Cyclist...
Sorry, I should have been more clear. That helmets protect the head in a crash pretty obvious, and that metastudy seems to confirm it.
What I had in mind was that helmet users tend to risk-compensate, taking more risks in traffic.

In the majority of cases, risk compensation leads to a decrease in expected benefit of legislation, but does not
eliminate
the benefit. (At least, that's the message I came away with from reading
Foolproof
.)

is there any real evidence to back this up - they used to say the same/similar things about seatbelts.
