FWIW concerning this discussion, Grant posted a lengthy article in his December, '23 Blahg issue. His points revolved more around the way modern helmets are constructed, using styrofoam-like material that won't compress during an impact, than it did wearing vs. not wearing one. At one time or another I've owned each of the helmets from the past that he highlights - Skid Lid, Kucharik "hair net," etc. Whether you are pro or con helmet wearing while cycling, it's a worthwhile read. He covers various tests used to measure the integrity of each helmet, how it does or doesn't do what it is supposed to do (or at least "hyped" to do), modifications made to existing models, and other things.
