Here I sometimes observe males cycling like crazy, overtaking others in risky maneuvres, wearing helmets 
They probably think "duh I am wearing a helmet, nothing can happen to me".
I never wear one and I have never hurt myself while cycling (but then I have been ridiculed for cycling slowly
) but these people put themselves and others at risk just cuz helmets are oh so safe.
And no they aren't, some dude broke his neck despite the helmet.
So ask yourself before using protection, could you change your behavior to minimize the risk? Then maybe the helmet aka protection wouldn't be needed in the first place
