I wear, and am for, mandatory helmet laws.
Florida saw an 81% increase in fatalities and an 83% increase in head injury in the past three years without mandatory helmets compared with the prior three years.
If you chose not to wear one, then you should not be entitled to any state / federal financial assistance for your medical care at the time of the accident or down the road. (for example, Medicaid when you are a semi-functioning person with a traumatic brain injury).
But then, I'm also for tougher motorcycle endorsement testing and mandatory MSF training, like was said in these threads EIGHT MONTHS AGO.
