I don’t think helmets would mitigate that risk. For comparison, should bicyclists be required to wear seatbelts?


Race car drivers wear helmets, so clearly they help.


Race cars are built differently; they have a tube frame to protect against high speed roll overs and have no airbags. You wear a helmet to protect yourself from hitting your head against the metal roll cage or steering wheel (because no airbag).
