According to this link, http://www.brainandspinalcord.org/brain-injury/index.html,

50% to 70% of brain injuries are the result of car accidents. Other causes include slips and falls, violence, and sports accidents. So most sports should require the use of a helmet, but it would be hard to prevent injury from all activities with helmets since the other leading causes can happen at any time.
