One of the other stand outs in the data (summary) for me... 86% were wearing helmets, but only 9% were wearing helmets AND body protection. Either body protection is helping, or so few people are wearing body protection that less of them fell into the scope of the study because of small sample size.  Only 4.5% had no protection at all What may be a weird is that implies that 14% of casualties weren't wearing helmets (higher than I would expect), but 9.5% were wearing some sort of protection but no helmet? Maybe I need to read the whole report to see how that was addressed.  Regardless, I wear my back and shoulder armour for almost every ride, trail or DH, race or not.
