8. I don't find the stats for cycling surprising at all.

One can travel much faster on a bicycle than on foot, and other sports are not played in moving traffic. Co-worker went over the hood of a car making an illegal left turn, helmet cracked open on both sides as he bounced. Has no memory of the accident or week afterward. Doctor told him that if he had not been wearing the helmet, he would not have survived.

Whenever I see a small child on a bike on bike wearing a helmet, I complement them on it and talk about how important it is.

That said, cycling is not an organized high school sport in any meaningful numbers.
