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

You could prove that helmets don't always prevent head injuries, but
not that they don't sometimes do it. Proving a negative is difficult
task.
