You're only seeing the city squids. The much more responsible racers, trackday bros, canyon carvers and long distance riders are geared up to the teeth.
I squid from time to time for short distances in the city and accept any and all risks. However if the Government were to encourage use of safety gear through insurance discounts/premiums I would be 100% for it.
