Here's the irreducible soundbite version:

• Most fatal crashes (74%) involved a head injury.
• Nearly all bicyclists who died (97%) were not wearing a helmet.
• Helmet use was only 3% in fatal crashes, but 13% in non-fatal
crashes

This concatenation of facts suggests very strongly that not wearing a
helmet may be particularly dangerous.

HTH.
