There's real data out there that while a helmet has better survival rates than not; but cars give more room to bicycles without helmets, so the incident rate is lower.

The only data I’ve seen on that is one guy who self-sampled and self-reported. I’d be happy to see more.

Appears he did self sample, but reporting was quantitative with a ultrasonic sensor.

In the UK.

It's in the UK, using ultrasonic sensors. Dr. Ian Walker has provided follow-up as well
