And, yet, when a cyclist is run over by a garbage truck or hit by a car, the first thing the press comment on is whether or not they were wearing a helmet ... with the implication being that if the cyclist was not wearing a helmet the death was preventable (which is more less likely to be the case than if a driver is not wearing a seatbelt). The safety advantage of seatbelts is clear, the benefit of helmets for cyclists in preventing death and serious injury is much less clear. Nevertheless, I personally always wear a helmet.
