There’s a certain element of the riding community who resist wearing a helmet. Maybe they believe that it ruins the purity of the riding experience, or they think that it infringes upon their freedom of choice, or they could feel that its a macho expression of rebellion, or they are just too stupid to appreciate the dangers. Regardless of these rider’s reasoning, the question we want to try to answer is whether these rider’s insistence upon a supposed infringement of personal freedoms could actually get them killed.
