Last year when a drunk in a uhaul truck hit me, judging from the way my helmet was busted up and my head didnt have a scratch on it, yeah I'd say they save lives.
Most accidents happen at intersections at less than hiway speeds, and that is when a helmet protects the most.
You could be doing a u-turn and drop your bike (and dont even say it cant happen), hit your head on the ground and die from it.
I have no problems with wearing helmets, being an ex-racecar driver I know that you dress for the crash, not for the ride.
And here comes my favorite quote:
