i beleave ya 100 % dave , helmets help , when i hit a deer a few yrs back it cracked my helmet , but it don't save the rest of your body , you end up with a perfect head and a crippled up body , seat belts , air bags , helmets are all part of the grand plan of the insurance companys , less they pay the more they reward there ceo , i alway wear a helmet now , but years ago i never wore 1 , things have changed in the amount of cagers and there blindness for bikers , and there speeds and messing around with b.s. well there driveing , but i still think it is a personal choice ,
