Since this is a discussion group, when you make a statement like
"Generally it is much safer to wear a helmet" you can expect it to be
discussed. There's ample data available calling your statement into
question. Wolfgang knows this.

I have no problems with someone believing and saying "generally it is
much safer to wear a helmet. I think it's ridiculous to argue
otherwise. It's total nonsense to claim that it's generally safer to
not wear a helmet; therefore.....

I believe it'd also be true of riding a motorcycle, riding in a motor
vehicle, or even riding a horse. It seems to me that when doing
something where a head injury is possible, a helmet would lessen the
risk of it.

The issue, of course, is not whether or not it's safer to wear a
helmet, but whether or not an individual is willing to accept the
discomfort and hassle of wearing a helmet.

It seems to me that it should be a subjective decision and it makes no
sense to argue anything other than about the legal right to make that
decision.

Some people favor a nanny government.  I do not.
