I'm also pretty sure even the extreme sports indulgers are smart enough to wear helmets when so involved.
Sometimes you just have to protect stupid ya know. Like making the wearing of seatbelts mandatory when in a moving automobile. I remember the same great hullaballoo from the freedom fighters back then too. Even though they were proven to save lives. "But waaaa. what if I drive into a lake and can't free myself? Waaa". I have the right to make my own decisions" Waaa.

The point being discussed was socialised medicine and how governments can with the help of useful idiots use this as an excuse to control every aspect of your life. I commute year round on a bicycle. According to the insurance companies' actuary tables this is a very risky activity with a high rate of fatality. Should l stop so that you can save a dollar?
