Default Helmets?

What is your opinion about wearing a helmet when riding a Segway?
Would you be more inclined towards helmet usage if part of your Segwaying would be in neighborhoods without sidewalks? Or night riding in poorly lit areas?
Do you currently wear a helmet while skating or biking?
Would mandatory helmet laws discourage you from riding a Segway?

I've always been sort of an ambivilant helmet user, knowning that even the best bike/skating helmet is designed only to provide life saving protection at speeds of less than 15mph. They aren't likely to save you if hit by a car, but work great in falls at slow speeds. Segway speeds.
