The only times I ever hear of people wearing any helmet at all dying while using a bike is from getting hit by a truck with a front grill at or above shoulder height if they were standing next to it.
If it’s a bike helmet with an actual safety standard stamp/tag (all helmets sold in North America, from what I understand), then they will protect you at bike speeds. MIPS is better than non-MIPS.
Got an ebike that goes as fast as a motorcycle? Then you’ll want a motorcycle helmet.
I love how people here chime in with opinions, but nobody is able to actually provide evidence that shows how those styrofoam shells are actually helping. Those I know about fail to show that, hence I do not simply take it as given.
Good idea to wear a helmet with any bike, I always do.
What do the statistics say about the usefulness of those cheap and simple helmets?
IDK, I have a Bell Super Air R, but I bet even a budget helmet is a hell of a lot better than nothing.
So you feel like that is how it should be? Or do you know it based on evidence?

How often do you hear such stories?
