The problem here is the risk profile of cycling in a city for every day travel is nowhere near the risk profile of the activities cycling is typically being compared with.
And hence once you apply the same logic consistently, you end up with stupid conclusions like mandatory helmets for walking in the winter, running, or even showering because statistically these cause more head injuries than cycling.
Mandatory cycle helmet laws are good at one thing. Making people cycle less.
