For whatever reason, people only discuss #helmets in the context of #cycling. Far more grave head injuries happen to car passengers and to #pedestrians. Nobody talks about them. Which clearly shows, that the whole debate is a red herring to avoid talking about real #mobilityTransition and safe #infrastructure for all.
Best article ever on the issue, by the wonderful #MarjutOllitervo:

Big US‑style trucks are killing more pedestrians in Australia – our research proves it
"We know vehicles on Australian roads are getting progressively bigger: more protective of their own occupants, but potentially more dangerous to those outside them. Here’s what we found:
every additional 100 kg of vehicle weight was associated with a 6% increase in the odds of pedestrian fatality regulation
every additional 10 cm of height was associated with an 11% increase in the odds of pedestrian fatality
utes and US-style pick-up trucks were associated with around 60% higher pedestrian fatality risk than conventional passenger cars
the relationship was even stronger in lower-speed environments. "
