There are medical conditions that require a helmet for a time period. My nephew's skull sutures were closing too fast so he had surgery to open them up so his brain had room to grow. He has to wear a helmet 23 hours a day for about a year.
However, you did exclude that type of situation. I agree that we go too far with some of these things. I sometimes wonder how any of us are alive. There are things that I padded (like the sharp edges of the fireplace hearth) as part of "babyproofing" the house when they were learning to walk.
