I've never understood why thinking that wearing a helmet or not is a personal choice and not really anybody else's business is such a big deal, which is what most people here are saying. Unless you are a minor or otherwise subject to someone else's rules (riding a horse that is not yours, show rules, etc), wearing a helmet isn't anyone else's decision but your own. Many of the things we do as adults are our own choices, good or bad, for better or worse. Why should wearing a helmet or any other type of safety gear be different? Shit happens, people get hurt. Sometimes it's their fault and sometimes it isn't.




But that would be logical and we can't have that now can we.
