I'm more astounded by how many people ride bikes etc without wearing one, and the logical hoops they jump through to justify it.

  My favorite people misunderstanding statistics & risk management was 2020 summer many people biking helmetless in unprotected bike lanes while wearing a face mask. Clearly the risk of catching a viral load outdoors in summer at 20mph is multiple orders of magnitude lower than smashing your head on cement while moving on a city street..

    I wore my mask on a bike not because I was trying to avoid covid, though having arrived at my destination I knew I hadn't forgotten it. I wore/wear my mask on my bike because it keeps my face warm.

    you can take what you will from the whole thing, but masks were pretty heavily mandated in a lot of areas where bike helmets aren't necessarily. what I mean to say is that perhaps it wasn't poor risk management, just behavior driven by mandatory obeying of laws and regulations. no one told them that they need to wear a helmet by law, so they didn't. (please keep in mind that I don't know anything about your local regulations, just sort of talking in ambiguous terms.)
