That's a good idea.
Probably should wear one when we're in a boat that's on plane much less going 100mph.
Can't live in a bubble, but if I had a 100mph boat I would probably go 100mph, and a helmet would be on my head along with a NASCAR style neck brace.

A pro bass guy had his life saved by his helmet when he hit a cable (for a cable ferry) stretched across the Intracoastal down around Morgan City a few years ago. Cable shaved off a slice of the helmet. He was doing about 70 and never saw the cable.
I feel for this guy's family and hope his kids are all right.
70 is extremely fast and dangerous for everyone. Especially on a narrow bayou (or otherwise restricted in area, ie. not a wide open lake).

The PFD's were for race boats that did rap up you neck. Kind of like a class 1 PFD.
With more boats on the water these days, I see that there is a need to slow people down on the water. As to how? shite if I know, but making people aware how speed kills people on the water just might help.
Look at it this way. Two men died in the last 2 weeks due to speeding on the water that was posted here on the OB.
