Probably not many 'on here' to be fair. (Perhaps @SpadeRunner who said " I've always worn a helmet simply because it made sense. ")
My original thought was to document other everyday activities that may lead to head injury, just to put things in context in that for those activities, walking, stair climbing, driving, everyday cycling, cooking in the kitchen, while there is a small risk of head injury it is easily mitigated against and it doesn't make sense to jump straight to PPE.
To call people out who bang their heads falling down for not wearing a helmet would be crass victim blaming
