So wear a helmet, but don't think it makes you invincible I think was the moral of the story.

Statistics will show an overall drop in head injuries when helmet laws go into effect. This is due to one factor only, a drastic reduction of riders. Many would rather not ride than wear a helmet.
Of those actually riding, the injury level goes up due to a false sense of security and increased risk taking.
