I guess the point I was trying to make is the whole helmet law stuff has been beat to death countless times. Everytime I've been to an OR meetup or ride, everyone wears a helmet and mostly full gear. It's not like we have people outraged by helmet laws and can provide a 2-sided debate.
Regardless of law, if someone does decide to ride without a helmet, it's not just their life they are effecting when shit hits the fan. Family's don't wanna take care of a vegetable for the rest of their life.
