Yeah, NTSA standards and traffic laws are kind of all over the place. It's kind of why you see 3 wheeled cars going around with almost zero safety standards because they are classed as a "Motorcycle."
However, motorcycles do have helmet laws in many states. Really, car drivers should wear helmets also, but good luck getting THAT passed. That's why we have airbags, because no one will wear a helmet in their car.
New Hampshire has no seat belt laws. Some states only require seat belts in the front seat. Some states only require seat belts for drivers and under 18s in the front seat.

Airbags are much superior to helmets, allowing for deceleration to occur over ~10 inches rather than over the ~2 inches provided by a helmet. That allows for a much smaller force to be applied to slowing the head. It would be a massive reduction in safety to replace airbags with helmets. Rather, we (still) use helmets because motorcyclists can't take advantage of airbags.
