To be blunt...I just, flat out, do not understand why anyone riding a motorcycle feels that helmet laws are somehow unfair. To me, it's a common sense kind of issue. You wear a helmet to keep your face from getting peeled in the event of a slide, or better yet, to keep your head from exploding like a strawberry if you get thrown.
With the exception of a few baby boomers, I think most everyone agrees that wearing a seatbelt is a smart move, and almost all states require occupants of automobiles to wear them. So why not require bikers to wear helmets. Helmets HAVE and DO save lives. So, what are the arguments against helmet laws? Why are some riders adamant that they shouldn't have to wear helmets?
Serious answers only...no children talking about how they hate wearing helmets while riding their bicycles (you're underage...get used to it).
