Now you’re going into what if’s. What if that car wasn’t there? What if he was wearing a helmet? Oh yeah, his knees whould still be f’d up. There are plenty of reasons to wear a helmet. I’m not arguing that point. My point is just you should have the right to choose. If I ever got on a bike here, I would put on a full hemet. And there are plenty of people here that do. There are those that think they are ‘skilled’ enough not to. They’re retarded. As one of the other post says we are just trying a little darwinism here.
