Yay for anecdotes! Maybe parents put helmets on their kids because they're helmets.

From what I've seen. There are very few real arguments against helmet laws. But what amazes me is the amount of riders that get really lucky once but they still refuse to wear a helmet after they almost died. People are retards, therefore society is tasked with forcing them to be safe. I'm sure there's a political concept on it somewhere but I'm not a politician.

question, why do people have to be retards simply because they don't agree with you?

I've been riding since Nixon was in office, helmet laws were around then and don't seem to have spread much.
I ski, ride a bicycle, and rollerblade, in addition to riding a motorcycle. I wear a helmet for all of them. My head is worth it to me. If you don't feel the same about yours, why would I care?

then this obviously wasn't directed at you?
