Reply to comment by LucasUnited in ELI5: Why do people wear different types of helmets when skiing and bicycling? by LucasUnited
They're designed for the vertical speed you pick up falling off a bike, not really for moving collisions or collisions with moving objects. They're better than nothing, but you would need a much more robust helmet to protect you from the sorts of injuries sustained in motor vehicle collisions.
