correct. By far the biggest death rate is always car/truck related: car-car; car-bike; car-pedestrians and so on.
While it is safer for cyclists to wear a helmet, this recommendation is always blown up to the max by car-propaganda, especially when there is yet another car-bike accident. Never forget how heavy and fast cars get and compare that to the video above
Most traffic deaths are cyclists, but only 42% of those died from a collision with a car. I’m not sure if heavy trucks are included, it might not and that would explain a lot, but even then 31% died without a collision.
That is an interesting article, i was looking for more info like that. It says bove 60, it is mostly a fatal bike-related crash, but below 60 it is mostly a car-related crash.
We do get just a little muddy snow or smalle ice spots in winter. But what mostly kills, lacking a helmet, is when an old drunk falls backwards off his bike, cracking his skull. Or the regular getting run over by a heavy vehicle

Rider stuck by car. Ride died of head injuries. Rider wasn’t wearing a helmet.
It was the lack of a helmet that killed them, not that they were hit by a car. /s
At least in the Netherlands it seems to be more nuanced than that: https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/visualisaties/verkeer-en-vervoer/verkeer/hoeveel-mensen-komen-om-in-het-verkeer-

Y’all don’t live in snowy climates huh. Sometimes all it takes is the one person.

I mean, why are we only talking about accidents that kill? I don’t want to get any kind of head injury, deadly or not.
sure
