[QUOTE="mickster, post: 51868, member: 2039"] Just to remark on the stat that in 2007 63% of fatalities were not wearing helmets. This has to be one of the worst stats you could ever pick for your argument. The above statement pretty much says that in motorcycle fatalities, that half of the deaths were wearing helmets and the other half were not. That statement alone shows that your chances of survival don't really increase by wearing a helmet !!!! That being said, I do wear a helmet almost 100 percent of the time, and I do believe as far as preventing head injury I am sure it will help a lot. The problem is its not going to keep a rider from breaking their neck or dieing from impact. Motorcycling truly is a hobby where to really be safe is not to ride at all. All the safety equipment in the world is not going to save someone from an unexpected road hazard, cell phone car driver, or a deer running out and t-boning you. It is an unsafe hobby and arguing helmet laws is such a small part of the true danger of riding that it is really just debating for debates sake. I love motorcycling, but I as some one who has ridden for the last 25 years I feel its the most unsafe hobby that is still legal to do. Jerry Seinfeld has a comedy bit on the foolishness of man for inventing the helmet to begin with. He talks about how man is too dumb to realize that instead of inventing the helmet he should have taken that time and energy and invested into a different hobby/occupation. He goes on to describe that in skydiving, the helmet is wearing the person for protection! To each their own, Respectfully, Mickster Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 [/QUOTE]
