This graphic was developed by Professor Dietmar Otte, described as a “prominent accident researcher”. I’ve not looked at all hard for reputable papers on this, but [url=https://pages.charlotte.edu/visualrhetoric/projects/illustration-video/safety-in-numbers-dietmar-ottes-motorcycle-helmet-impact-diagram/]the paper in which I found the picture—which is about graphical representation of data—contains footnote references to Professor Otte’s work.
That looks definitive, but you'd want to know the severity of the blows, not just percentage.
I've never seen a police officer wearing a full face helmet. You'd think they would if there was a demonstrable safety difference, but maybe not...
