There is something that is quickly diminishing in this society and it's called personal responsibility.
Not to say that I'm not sorry someone was hurt, I don't mean to come across as heartless. But do you realize that at the moment this guy was in an accident and seriously injured (because of a choice he made) that someone else somewhere was being brutally beaten or raped, someone was dying at the hand of another, a child somewhere was dying of starvation - there are bigger fish to fy in this world than requiring someone to wear a helmet.
I so sound like I don't value human life or like a big old jerk - but seriously, if we keep making laws protecting people from themselves then people will never learn anything - society already panders to the stupid and irresponsible as it is.

I understand where youre coming from. I guess we can just hope people will be smart enough to do it on their own.
