But you still get fined if you don't wear a helmet

In an ideal world, even before you crash your motorcycle and hit your head somewhere, forcing you to start wearing it

I'll never forget this one video. A cyclist riding with a helmet on was doing everything proper -- helmeted, obeying traffic laws, riding in the proper part of the road...

Then a city bus passes them far too close. The passenger side mirror of the bus catches the rider's helmet and speeds off...carrying the cyclist off of their bike and dangling by their helmet at speed...

    Freak accidents occur everywhere. Helmets save a lot more lives then causee deaths overall.

      Yep, same with seatbelts... a lot of broken ribs, etc. and people complaining.

      If you crashed so hard, the belt broke your ribs, without the seatbelt, you'd be dead right now, head first through the windshield. I mean sure, you wouldn't be complaining about broken ribs, but yeah...
