Incorrect, those are backwards. NED has 16.8 and AUS has 22.1 That makes a big difference.
Adjusted for size, there would approx. 2950 head injuries in the Netherlands vs 1122 in Australia. That is over 2.5 times as frequent.
Add in the observation that the Dutch cycling infrastructure is far superior and thus safer as cyclist don't generally share the road with cars (I am Dutch and can attest to this), and the statistics are telling.
