But this had little effect on severe intracranial injuries, which affected 3% of helmeted snowboarders and 2% of those without helmets.

When you take only injured snowboarders, so of course you can make conclusion that helmet has no effect, but probably all other who wore helmets didn’t got counted as they suffered no injuries ;) The Research Report: A New Weapon in the Fight Against Superbugs - WSJ.com The key point - the supposed safety equipment doesn’t actually make you more safe.
