[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 51644, member: 2071"] Had and aunt that wore a helmet when walking. She had seizures so frequently and suddenly that you never knew when she would hit the deck. In her case the helmet while walking was a good thing. But, she wore it because she agreed it was best for her not because of a government mandate. I wear a helmet when riding because there's practically no downside to it and plenty of potential fatal results to verify that. Same with seat belts. But it's not my place to mandate anyone else do the same. I know this discussion has been going on at least since the late 50's and I did ride back in the day without one because first, they weren't readily available and were expensive. Today they are cheap with good quality and comfortable. Same with the body armor and good boots. You may ride 100,000 miles and never need it but, all it takes is that one time and it could be life altering. Those are the reasons I wear the gear not because government has a gun to my head telling me I must. That part I don't like one bit. [/QUOTE]
