There are numerous fatalities with car wrecks daily, and many, if not most, involve the head being crushed, or at least being dented severely. SO, we should endeavor to pass legislation asap to have all car drivers, and passengers, well helmets as well. After all, it sounds reasonable enough, no?
Better yet, why not for any activity where a person is moving along the surface of the earth, with hard objects that can be potentially in the path, like skiing,- water and snow-, jogging along the side of the road, tree climbing, rock climbing, electric linemen, mowing the lawn on a riding lawnmower, climing a ladder over 3 feet tall, hell, why not strap one on while flying in an airplane, or riding a joy ride at an amusement park? What about roofers, high rise construction workers, window washers? Why not put on the helmet when walking down to the mailbox? absurd?? did you know people have fallen down, hit their head, and died while walking to the mailbox?? Hmmmm? I agree with you and would go one step further, I would legislate the wearing of a helmet 24/7 after birth, to be taken off by the embalmer upon your demise. After al, one cannot be too safe.
