[QUOTE="Goldwinger1984, post: 51793, member: 1298"] There are also a number of accidents/deaths that have occured directly as a result of wearing a helmet. Heads torn off at the neck by the helmet strap when the helmet catches on an immovable object and the body keeps going. Heat exhaustion due to the helmet retaining heat and causing blurred vision and/or unconsciousness. Restricted peripheral vision causing helmet wearer to miss seeing an oncoming vehicle. Visor becoming dirty or fogged up causing limited vision leading to an accident and there's more but I think you get the idea. In my opinion it would be much better and safer to take the time to force people to learn how to be really qualified and good defensive drivers before they hit the road, with no helmets, than it is to give them a mickey mouse (almost worth nothing) license and a helmet (that will only offer them limited protection) and say to them off you go, good luck. To me, the way the law does it today, is that they give someone 10 minutes training (current license exam) with a high powered machine gun (high powered crotch rocket) and then they hang a bullet proof vest (a helmet)on them and tell them to go be safe. Instead, if they put their efforts into teaching riders how to drive defensively so they can prevent, avoid and drive around an accident it makes a bunch more sense to me than how they do it now where they do not give riders sufficient training then place a helmet on riders to protect them after an accident. What the heck is with that anyway? :shock: [/QUOTE]
