While taking my MSF course, one of my classmates grabbed the front brake too hard on the quick-stop test and high-sided. That was at 15 mph, instructor said he'd likely have a concussion at the very least if he hadn't been wearing a helmet. Luckily for him, he only managed to tear a tendon. This, combined with the fact that there are a LOT of dumb drivers in my town are the reason I always wear my helmet when I ride.
Iowa doesn't have a helmet law, and it's not very common to see riders wearing one.
