The role of the helmet is to slow down your head, not to protect your scull. The best helmet for it is foamy one kickboxers are using.
Hope it is understandable.
Just Keep Flying
But maybe you are right, don't know...
One could also claim it could have the opposite effect, that you might get more "juice" into your neck wearing a helmet, so even more whiplash sore

That being said - the risk of getting hit by the board and/or foil is huge and happens all the time, so wear a helmet
