When I took the motorcycle safety class they gave us a list of accident statistics and out of the 100 or so about 3 of them involve the motorcycle operator wearing a helmet, was sober and was not speeding and they made a big point of that, always wear a helmet, don't drink and don't speed!
A scooter has a top speed of 30mph so speeding is not an option, most people don't drink and operate them and so you are left with wearing your helmet, the advantage that they have over a bike is that they make a sound, they have lights including turn signals and brake lights and they have a horn.

I take personal responsibility for my self while on my scooter or motorcycle and figure if I get killed that the world still has to many people.
