[Roadsters] Eject button

[Robbie Harrison]

I have to agree with the right to choose as well. And also opposed to
stupidity. Helmet and seatbelt laws interfere with natural selection. But
there should be provisions strictly limiting insurance payouts, say to the
amount paid in by the party involved,  if they are not using the protective
gear available, so that the rest of the population does not have to foot the
bill. Whether they are the at-fault party or not.

I was thinking "denial".  But Delusion works.

I am all for the right to choose.  But I am opposed to stupidity.  There are
ZERO instances where a person can consider himself safer through NOT using a
helmet.  And I can think of no valid reason why a person could consider it
more COMFORTABLE to be without a helmet, than to be wearing a proper fitting
lid.

I understand the appeal of looking cool.  But does it outweigh the fiscal
burden that is placed on society every year by those who crash without a
helmet on?  You may say "well I have insurance for that".  Who pays for
those medical bills then?  I do, through my own premiums.

Not to mention the ammunition that another motorcycle death gives to those
who would take away our freedom to chose; to choose helmets, or motorcycles
for that matter.

i'll climb off the soapbox now.  as you can tell, I feel very passionate
about helmet use.
