Your position seems to presume that you cannot receive a head injury in a bicycle accident without being thrown over the handlebars, which is rather emphatically not the case.

Sure, it's theoretically possible but you'd have to try pretty hard to hit your head falling off a dutch bike. Anyone who manages that should probably not be riding a bike in the first place.

If you fall to the side at low speeds, you're more likely to land on your shoulder or arm. (knee and hip are likely involved in such a fall, too)
