Information on bicycle standards which some of you may find fascinating:https://www.cpsc.gov/Business--Manufacturing/Business-Education/Business-Guidance/Bicycle-Requirements …
The portal to our National Electronic Injury Surveillance System. You can download a spreadsheet of injury data ("Archived Annual NEISS Data") and search for bike injuries that mention helmets. We have data from 1998 to 2017:https://www.cpsc.gov/cgibin/NEISSQuery/home.aspx …
If you're wondering what the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System is and how it works:https://www.cpsc.gov/Research--Statistics/NEISS-Injury-Data/Neiss-Frequently-Asked-Questions …
