A riding helmet is worn while jumping for the same reason a football player wears a helmet...to protect the riders head in case of a fall.
Helmets are ASTM certified as protective equipment in case the rider falls and strikes their head on the ground or a jump or the horses hoof strikes the riders head.

What equipment do you need to use when you ride?
When you ride you MUST always wear a correctly fitted riding hat. This will protect you from damage to your head and may even prevent death if you have a fall. Body protectors are worn when jumping but can also be wore when doing flat work. Riding boots and jodhpur boots with chaps are best when riding although you can wear other sensible riding foot wear if it's just a one of. For example your shoes must NOT be trainers and MUST have a small heel. Jodhpurs are wore by most riders but if your riding a one off the wear jeans. Gloves are best when riding and handling horses although they are not a must have. When riding I would advise to tie your hair back in a low ponytail to keep it out of your face.
