Practically, it would raise the cost of attending the event because I'd have to buy a helmet first.
Philosophically, I am personally opposed to unjustified demands. "For health and safety reasons" is not actually a reason, and "for security reasons" (my personal bugbear) certainly is not. If they said "As a condition of our insurance for the event, without which we could not put it on, our insurers demand that all competitors wear a helmet" I might still disagree with it, but I'd be a lot less annoyed about it.
