The only sport I can think of where blows to the head are intentional is boxing. In no other sport is the goal to get hit or hit someone else on the head. But it happens in lots of sports and in those sports where a head blow could be dangerous (such as falling off a bike at 30 mph) wearing a helmet is a smart thing to do.
