I don’t know how it is in canada but here in colombia i hardly ever see scooter users wearing helmets. It doesn’t surprise me that they injure themselves a lot.

They don't like wearing helmets moving at speeds where they should be wearing a motorcycle helmet.

Its a mixed bag here, but many people do not. Commuters usually do, but people riding for fun or not going long distances don't tend to. On my commute I see a lot of people with actual motorcycle or dirtbike helmets though, which I hope to get one day since I only have a bike helmet.

When I visited Mexico City earlier this year I was horrified to see people riding scooters with no protection through the insane traffic there. People there don't even stop for pedestrians, I cant imagine how dangerous it'd be to ride a scooter or bike.
