My head got cooked and my face was sand blasted with gravel. 5 minutes after I put my helmet back on I had a bird explode on my helmet right above my visor at 65 mph. Another time someone lobbed a beer can out of a car a 100 yds in front of me on the freeway and it bounced up and smacked my visor. No helmet and I am sure I would have went down at a very high speed. If you choose not to wear one, good luck with that!
Agreed, its a good idea & I wear one,, but its NOT okay that someone would be forced to wear a helmet,,
