What reason could you have not to wear a helmet that would outweigh simple safety in the event random disaster strikes?
Similar to how we wear seatbelts, you don’t drive expecting to crash, and in a perfect world you wouldn’t need it. Accidents happen though, that’s why the word exists.
it’s the simple fact that having to wear a helmet makes you less likely to ride a bike (because it’s a big extra effort, you have to bring the helmet along and mess with your hair and whatnot).
Society benefits more from people biking as much as possible, than it does from people always wearing a helmet on a bike.
