Obviously, this is a thread concerning US States where you can avoid wearing an helmet by the existing law.
Here in Europe wearing a certified helmet is mandatory.
I'm really surprised that in some States of USA it's not mandatory.
Maybe this is in name of a twisted interpretation of personal freedom: one is free to do whatever he likes, even kill himself.
In principle, this is correct, I agree, but if his/her freedom invades mine, I don't agree at all.
How can a person not wearing an helmet invade my freedom?
Simply because if he has an accident and doesn't die immediately, his sanitary treatment for a trauma that maybe could have been avoided wearing an helmet is on the tax payer's shoulders!
This of course it's true in a Country where there's a welfare, public expenses for population's health... ah, right... this is not the case of US!
Sorry!
Die if you want to, you won't be a burden for anybody, on the contrary you'll help the economy for burials, funeral houses, lawyers to share the heritage, etc.: the perfect capitalistic society!
Good luck!
