Personal Responsibility?
Filed in archive Motorcycle by Matt on April 2, 2008

Here we go again... some fool trying to insinuate that helmets don't do any good. Or more specifically, helmet LAWS don't do any good.
Ok, look... the bottom line is this: I'm not advocating more legislation. We've got plenty. But for people like Jeff Hennie, Vice-President of Government Affairs, Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF), to try to (inadvertently?) convince us that helmets don't help prevent injury and/or death in motorcycle accidents
is not just flat out wrong, it's irresponsible to boot!I have at least two helmets in my garage right now that have been on the ground. They both prevented injury to the head and face of myself and my wife. The wife's was especially telling, because the entire right side of the helmet from about the mouth to the ear has been scraped away. If she hadn't been wearing that helmet, the whole side of her face would be one big, nasty scar. Or worse.
I'm not saying to make more helmet laws. I'm saying don't listen to the idiots that are trying to tell you helmets don't work. They do work.
