That sounds incredibly unlikely. I’ve fallen twice, know others that have fallen multiple times (in much more dangerous situations than just standing still) and if your accident is just falling on the pavement you will most likely fall on your side which is a long way to get your skull cracked.

Compared to the danger of falling on pavement or asphalt, cars are like a billion times more likely to cause your skull to crack and even the best helmet will only do so much compared to just removing cars from where people bike.
