There are were 42000 brain injury-related hospitalizations for motor vehicle occupants per year, though this data is from before 2001.

Sure but you have to normalize it somehow. Americans drive way more than they bike. I imagine if you calculated this per-time or per-distance, driving would still come out much safer for the brain than cycling without a helmet.

Again just from memory, driving is a lot worse per-time and per-commute, though a small factor better per-distance.
