Interesting statistic that 96% of people arriving at hospital with head injuries aren't weren't wearing helmets. However, given that far fewer than 1 in 20 skaters wear helmets, that would indicate that statistically you're more likely to end up in hospital with a head injury if you are wearing a helmet. I suspect this is due to the fact that less experienced skaters are often made to wear helmets by their parents, and beginners are more likely to suffer injuries.
