And has long been applied to gambling.
Though drinking and gambling and scrEwing around are habits that occur regularly on purpose.
Accidents are accidents, pure and simple. Theyre not purposeful so not likely to happen. It’s about time we start accepting accidents happen.
If they were really concerned about safety and those domino-effect problems, they’d ban motorcycles altogether, e.g. and not allow a stinking 20mph stick frame on the road with 2000lb 80mph boxes.

Homeless didn’t have helmets because they can’t afford them.
Duh!

You see it. I see it. But somehow the City Leaders didn't see it nor did the cops writing the tickets.

It’s not like they can’t steal a helmet when they steal the bike.

"Since blacks are more likely to murder blacks, perhaps the laws against murder should be erased in the name of equity?!"You have a good point.. Perhaps, like needles and crack pipes, ammo should be provided as well...

This helmet culture is pathetic.
Even in this insane safety-NAZI society, you will almost never find a bike sitting somewhere in public, casually tossed on the side, with a helmet attached.
So yes, they could do so, but usually that would be stealing from a deadly serious “cyclist” (why are bicycles riders “cyclists” but motorcycles “bikers”?) spandex highway-rider who thinks his bike is the equal of a car. They’re about the only ones that MIGHT have a helmet on their “parked” bike - but then, they wear them on their heads almost constantly.
