Any adult too stupid to wear a helmet while biking should not be forced
to wear one by law.  However, don't force the rest of us to pay for
their medical coverage when they injure their heads in bike accidents!!!

Please note that I am somewhat biassed towards this subject because both
of my children are alive and healthy today thanks to their helmets
protecting them during serious head-first crashes during MTB
races/training.

Finally, I feel that if you question the merits of helmets, you
obviously don't need one.
