Do you think they should be mandatory in cars too?
A car has seatbelts, airbags and protection from all sides amidst various other safety equipment. A bike does not. Chances are if you get a knock on your bike that your head will make contact with something.

You don't need to be hit hard on a bike to get permanent head injuries, you do in a car.
