What else bad can happen?
Hmmm... I can't think of anything else bad that could happen while riding without a helmet other than a large insect striking your face.
They're specifically designed to prevent insects from hitting your head (this is why the more expensive "aero" helmets have fewer holes), so the only real risk of not wearing a helmet at all is having a beetle or dragonfly possibly get tangled in your hair.
