Eggshell plaintiff rule at work.
Personally I would only ride without a helmet when looping my circle. Nothing over 15-20mph. Between the shit drivers, attitude towards riders by drivers because of asshat riders, people not checking their vehicles for hazards, and just the unknown of road conditions I would never risk riding without one.
Fall with a helmet at highway speed and hit your head you are probably getting a concussion and some road rash. Without a helmet? Well, we appreciated you on the transplant team and your brain deadness.

Wear a helmet when riding, wear a seatbelt when driving, but don't make them laws.

I don't get it either. I wear a full face at ALL times and I also now have an airbag vest that I wear religiously. As soon as airbag jeans get perfected (they are working on it), I will add that as well. All the gear all the time.

One time I put my visor up at night just to get some extra air in my face and a bug hit my eye. I thought I was going to go blind. Bug guts in my eye 20 minutes from home wasn't ideal.
For slow riding on dirt bikes I would some times skip a helmet but on the street bike I always wore it unless it was just moving the bike around the house or some shit.

Driving is a privilege, not a right.
I always wore a helmet during the 15 years I owned bikes. Felt naked without one.

Similar logic applies to riding a bicycle on the street or on town bike paths. My wife and I have helmets and I wore mine two years ago. But it was uncomfortable so I choose not to use it anymore. My wife wears hers, though. Bear in mind we're not going that fast, but any fall can be a bad one if you hit your head on the pavement. For me, it's a choice of comfort, and I do ride carefully. If I had a motorcycle, though, I would NEVER ride without a helmet. Speeds are too high generally and traffic too heavy to risk going down without one.
They do, a lot. Even rain on bare skin at highway speeds stings pretty bad.
Nothing like having your visor tipped up on the vent notch and the bee finds the gap. Had that happen 3 times during my bike riding years.
The best is a June Bug.
Or Dragonfly flying at 50 MPH and you doing 50MPH the other way!!!
I know one person who lived after being struck at 60mph, he was doing 45. Now, he was very messed up, but they attribute the helmet to him still being alive. I didn't know him at the time of the accident, but he has shown me photos and wow!
When I was a young and stupid motorcycle rider (early 20s), when I'd cruise my Harley over the stateline to SC to go to some buddies places, I'd pop off that helmet on the 35 and below roads. Obviously I understand how stupid even that is NOW, but back then my young and undeveloped brain thought since 35 was a lot slower than 65, I'd be okay if I wrecked.
Tldr; people that religiously ride without helmets are equivalent to that of a mentally retarded 20 year old.

You do NOT want to get hit in the face by a June Bug while clipping along at 60-75 mph.
Stop your crying it only hurt once. But yeah I was told by a few riders you don't want to hit them going past 30 MPH as they HURT and you are also not expecting it.
Had an accident on my Harley, went over the right handlebar. Displaced arm fracture and dislocated wrist. Couple scrapes. Not a scratch on the helmet. Tossed and bought a new one. Never rode without one and never will, if I ride again. I got lucky.
Here in PA I see the guys from out of state cross the bridge and stop to take their helmets off. A lot of locals do it too. It's not for me, I wear one every time.
I've also had a bee fly in my ear while wearing a 3/4 helmet. Sombitch stung me a few times while I'm punching myself in the head trying to pull over.
