This is not researched, but as an MSF instructor, I seem to recall
greater incidences of brain damage without a helmet than with, i.e. you
are more likely to suffer a head injury, not necessarily die.  This is a
function of the fact that most bike accidents, like cars, are slow speed
and local, not 120 mph on the interstate.

Speed doesn't kill, it's the sudden stop that gets you.
