"have to", or "need to" aren't really the right words.
The purpose of a helmet is to protect your head.
Obviously, to get any benefit from a helmet you have to hit your head first.
No hit, no benefit.
So maybe you'll say " I never hit my head".
And as long that remains right, you'll be just fine w/o a helmet.
Thing is, hitting your head isn't much fun.
Even a fairly minor fall can split an eyebrow or a cheek, cause a concussion.
Spending a day in the ER isn't fun.
Having a scalp wound cleaned out isn't fun.
Getting stitches isn't fun.
Long-lasting headaches from concussions aren't fun.
A helmet can let you avoid all of these things.
Which makes wearing one looking like a good deal to me.
Depends what you are doing. If you are just doing tricks like kickflips, ollies, then you are okay. If you are doing insane tricks like 360's off a ramp then you may need a helmet.
