What is disheartening is that a view such as yours is not unusual, you are someone who understands the benefits of helmets but are unable to change your daily working practice and perhaps because of this, are generally negative about positive steps to improve crash survivability.
As someone who wears a helmet with visor down, a nomex flying suit with natural fibre clothing underneath, a roll necked long sleeved nomex shirt and leather flying gloves everytime I go flying, I find your last remark a bit surprising.
As a 'qualified' Flight Safety Officer, I encourage everyone I fly with to wear the same and all visitors that fly with us have to wear a similar level of protection, including helmet and flying suit.
The problem you have mickjoebill, is that you do not realise there are some of us who take Flight Safety and H&S in the aviation environment a bit more seriously than you do. Because some of us do so, we see the faults where they exist in other areas of our industry.
