Exactly. The man made his decisions and had to deal with the consequences.

A full-face helmet saved my life once. I’ll tell anyone who will listen that they should wear a helmet. But I am loathe to have the government force mandatory usage.

The “it’s a good idea so there should be a law” argument is a long and rocky road to no good things.

Ditto - I creased the back of a Bell helmet on the curb after hitting water on a blind curve (they were watering the golf course). Didn’t help my knee (first of four surgeries), but it did save my life.
