There was a long discussion on helmets & the helmet law recently:
here
It's quite long, but there are a lot of good comments quoting research, notably by Dan. Well worth reading if you are interested in the topic.

When the helmet law was introduced, I stopped riding.
Has anybody noticed that the helmet that offers the greatest degree of head protection, the full face motorcycle type, is the one accessory that will almost guarantee that you will come to grief.
Conversely, the head covering that would offer the lowest prospect of an accident would be a beanie or cycling cap.
These allow the greatest sensory perception of our immediate environment. A greater level of situational awareness, & doesn't this contribute to overall cycling safety?
As a citizen of a so-called 'free' country, ... as an adult of mature years, I believe that I, ... & we, should have the 'right to choose', returned to us.
The helmet law sucks.

Copenhagen Cycle Chic is a rather bizarre blog that features snapshots of helmetless Copenhagen bicycling women:
