They had a bit on the news last night about the death in the helmet protest. Cops said he 'most likely' would of survived the crash.
Been a couple around here where folks had been wearing their helmets they would of walked away from a crash instead of dieing.
Even though im a firm believer in helmets i think it ought to be a personal choice. BUT, there needs to be some kind of wavior on insurance or something so everyone else dont end up picking up the medical tab if someone takes a crash sans helmet. Should be mandatory organ donors as well.
But then i think seatbelts should be a personal choice i a cage as well. Your endangering yourself, no one else. Should be your choice, not some govt flunkies.
Instead of carpng about us and helmets they need to be worrying more about unskilled drivers and them D@mn cell phones. Every car needs some kind of jammer to jam a cell phone signal over about 10 mph.
THAT would help US as much or more then wearing a helmet!
Myself, i kinda like my looks(ladies do to...lol) my lower jaw and teeth so ill keep wearing at least a 3/4....when i can ride again...^$%#!*^$%!!!.
