Frankly your reaction is more astonishing than anything you quote. I didn't read it all, but the last sentence of yours that I quoted above is very significant, IMO. Coupled with experiences from places like Australia where compulsory helmet wearing reduced overall cycling amounts by more than they reduced head injuries from cycle accidents.
The debate's been done to death many times without any real concrete conclusions, and I'm pleased that Swiss parliament have not decided that they know better than the best that scientific research currently has to offer.
And TBH I, like many others I'm sure, am against the nanny-state type of regulation that this would entail, on principle, regardless of the pros and cons. As you implied above, if helmets really and clearly make cycling that much safer, then we wouldn't need to legislate their use in the first place.
