Bicycle riders are expected to fall less often, but with more force than skateboarders.

So bicycle helmets are made to soak up more force, and then be replaced after a bad fall.

Skateboard helmets are made to soak up less force, but to remain useful even after several falls.

Bicycle helmets are also generally made to allow more airflow, to keep the rider's head cooler during hard riding.

The skateboard may seem stable, but you might fall!! Falling on your head could lead to severe injuries... A helmet would protect that! Keep on staying safe(:
