They probably don't have enough brain cells left to realize they may need helmets. Also, you can't fit a cowboy hat over a helmet, now can you?

Most riders dont wear a helmet simply because one does not exist. There is not a helmet made for bull riding. Some riders are starting to use hockey goalie mask and they seem to work okay.

Some of the riders wear safety helmets, to protect them from the bulls horns or any part of the bull. The riders who don't; take a big chance of getting seriously hurt.

I have actually seen very few that do, and I personally think it should be a requirement. However, I'm guessing that with the force that they are sometimes hit with, the helmet wouldn't do much good.
When I was in school, a kid that I had kind of grown up with rode bulls. He rode one one day and fell off, and the bull stepped on his head and crushed his skull.. It was the first funeral I had ever been to, and I haven't been to one since..
Therefore, I definitely think that if people are going to continue to do it, they should try to take some precautions..

A few are starting to wear football helmets. Not many but a few. They are also starting to wear kevlar vests. Unfortunately usually it takes a head injury or a good goring to the chest to get them to start wearing them.

My nephew rides PBR and told me he does not wear one because it is uncomfortable. Some of the riders do wear them but it is not mandatory

Why bother? You have to be brain damaged to ride one to begin with..
