But I can think of at least one reason why helmets should be mandatory. Imagine you're driving your car and you hit a motorcyclist. If he had a helmet on, then he's got a few broken limbs and a mild concussion. If he didn't, then he's dead. It may have been his fault, it may have been yours. Either way, someone died and you had a part in it. Maybe you killed an idiot, but you've got a human being on your conscience.
I wonder if Darwin would have stumbled upon natural selection had he been surrounded by helmets, Hummers and airbags?
The only people that wear a helmet because they want to are those who have something to protect.
