Than what is? Last time I checked, Lunacy wasn't written into the constitution of the US. The rights to freedom of expression yes, but not lunacy in regards to physical health.
Attend an accident where a helmit (horse riding or bike or whatever) has saved a life, prevented an accident from being further serious or could of prevented a death like I have and you will see what I mean.
Ok, look at it this way then, with the laws we've had over here in Australia for the last 30 or so years look at the number of fatal accidents we've had in comparison to every 1000 bike rider accidents that you guys have. The statistics prove my point that helmits do save lives. In fact over here and in a lot of other places worldwide its uncool not to use a helmit, so why can't your bikers just accept what the rest of the world's bikers (myself included) consider another part of the biking experience?
I'm sorry if I annoy or offend people by saying it, but its just my opinion from the expreiences that I've had like the one in my previous post that "No Helmit = No Brains". (in more than one way)
