Why is it extremely important to wear a bicycle helmet when bicycling?

Riding a bicycle for utility purposes is safe, the overwhelming majority of people will be able to ride for years and years before having an accident that leads to a head injury - so I wouldn't say that it's "extremely important".
But considering what they cost, and how easy they are to wear, a bike helmet offers great value in terms of protection against head injuries - if an accident would strike.
Head injuries from even minor mishaps can be severe or even fatal. A helmet provides inexpensive protection in common falls or collisions.
because if you fall you could get a serious head injury and possibly die. even if you are idle you can still be hurt if not wearing a helmet.
Let's think about this. I realize that you don't use a helmet and that explains a bit, but it protects your head.
Because for the money they cost and how easy they are to wear it's a really cheap protection against head/face injuries if you fall.
Because it can protect your head if you fall.

First, I assume the question is really..."Do you salute the American flag while you are wearing a bicycle helmet?" If the helmet is part of a uniform, you salute. If it's not, you take the helmet off and hold it over your heart. Second, if the question is..."Do you salute a bicycle helmet with an American flag on it?" then the answer is no.
