Bicycling has never been a major source of serious traumatic brain
injury (TBI). On a nationwide basis, bicycling's contribution to TBI
counts is low enough to be off most "causes" charts. Bicycling causes
fewer then 1% of U.S. TBI deaths, far fewer than pedestrian travel, and
far fewer on a "per mile" basis. And historic data over the years shows
quite clearly that bicycle helmets are not preventing either fatalities
or concussions.

How one would go about proving that bicycle helmets are not preventing
either fatalities or concussions?
Statistical accident analysis, just like it was possible to show the use of seat belts.
Which is valid for groups and more accurate on the probabilities for larger groups and/or for greater frequency incidents.
But, as noted here often, any given individual in any given incident can fall anywhere along those curves.
