Sorry to disappoint, but for the moment, it's true.

The reason helmets are law is because the insurance companies lobby for it. Pretty simple.

if it saves them money then why not. Probl3em is more peopel get hurt due to head injuries the ins co will have to shell out more cash, and in a lot of cases it can be a lot of cash. So they will raise everyone elses rates to compensate.

(Quoted for WTF does communism have to do with helmet laws?)

When you were selling mini-motos, did you require prospective buyers to wear a helmet on test rides?

I'm guessing you did, since you would have to be a complete idiot not to. Having people crack their heads open would be bad for business, and effect your bottom line.

So, if I'm correct, how does that make you any different from an insurance company, looking to protect their bottom line?

Hmmm.....
