To wear a helmet or not

[srwilli]

As like many, I always wear my helmet. It's not about the dying, it's all about becoming a vegetable and becoming a burden on my family or the state. The question I have always pondered and really never gotten an answer.. "Why does the government enact laws for all to wear a seat belt in a car, but doesn't enact laws for helmets?" Both are safety devices. Not saying I want the law, if you want to ride and take the chance its, ok with me as long as I or my tax dollars are not the one who takes care of you when you are laying in the bed, just a question regarding the logic behind safety laws.

In Australia, helmets are compulsory.

I used to work in a motorbike shop and the amount of helmets I've seen that were damaged, and the amount of people who thanked them for saving their life was huge. One guy in particular, he got hit by a truck, and the truck ran over his head. He was one incredibly lucky guy, he was perfectly fine, can't say the same for the helmet.

I suppose the people who don't wear one but needed to won't get the option again.
Too much of the it won't happen to me mentality, unfortunately it does happen.

i believe in the u.s. the reason some states don't require a helmet is their residents are more thick headed.
perhaps i am wrong & they are just stupid. :banghead:

Not more thick headed....more rubber headed.
