The high majority of injuries caused my bike accidents are not to the head. My father whom worked as an EMT many many moons ago told me this. He also said that the weight of some helmets can cause serious neck injuries.
Also, I dont feel that its the governments buisness to force us to protect ourselves for our own good. That goes for seat belts as well. I do wear my seat belts, and I don't ride bikes, but if I did my state doesnt require me to wear a helmet and I'm glad
