Using a flight helmet while flying a spamcan

I see quite a few vids on youtube where people flying light aircraft are wearing "flight helmets" basically what we used to call "pudding boilers" with built in headphones/mics much like the guys in microlights wear. I notice more and more folks wearing helmets for other sports like biking, skiing and kids on skateboards, would others on here wear such a thing while flying a cessna/piper or would the embarrassed of looking like a complete pratt override any added safety margin a helmets gives?
