There is also the idea that wearing the protection whether seat belts or helmets makes some drive or ride bolder or with more aggression because the protection gives them a sense of invulnerability. Ergo accident rates go up. Go figure. Just another of lifes little ironies.

That wouldn’t surprise me. It’s already a given to the insurance companies that anti-lock brakes and traction control is causing people to drive more aggressively, since they’re now ‘protected’.
