As long as you have insurance, so the country doesn't end up paying for your hospitalization because of your "preference", it should be your call if you wear a helmet or not.
I'd just prefer that everyone did, because I live in Florida, so I won't have to scoop up so much brain matter and console your families when i'm a Paramedic.
I don't like legislating personal decisions that have no impact on me. If you want to die, I'm not gonna vote on a law to keep you from it.
I already had one kid yesterday during one of my clinicals who fell off his moped, landed straight on his head at only 30 mph. 17 years old. Thankfully, he lived because he had his helmet on.
