You don't need to wear a crash helmet by law ,however, it as seen as safer.
I'm afraid I have to disagree with the above answer, at least as far as the UK is concerned.
The position in the UK is that the rider and the pillion passenger on a motorcycle with an attached sidecar MUST wear a helmet. However, the passenger seated in the side car does not.
The driver or passengers in a three wheeled car car are not required to wear helmets.
The legal position with trikes is more complicated and advice should be taken from the local taxation office on which class the vehicle is registered in. A non legal opinion is that it depends on whether you sit astride or in the trike.
Head injuries can be fatal and are often very serious so wearing a helmet is a sensible precaution where head injuries are possible and that would include most passengers in sidecars.

If I wear a motorcycle helmet and I have an accident will my insurance cost be lower than they would if I wasn't wearing a helmet?
Higher because they will see it as you are more of a health liability because you don't wear your helmet, thus more head trauma is likely in the event of a crash, than if you do wear a helmet, where less head trauma is likely. The less head trauma, the less medical expenses they will have to pay, so the less you will have to pay.
How do you make a motorcycle helmet?
