Funny about helmets, motorcyclists for years have lobbied to repeal helmet laws because they show stats that helmets while riding a motorcycle do nothing to protect the brain, yet year after year motorcyclists die due to not wearing a helmet and the EMT and the med staff will say that most could have survived had they been wearing a helmet. What's really funny is I remember when seat belts were required, there were many drivers doing the same thing, showing stats that seat belts caused more deaths then not wearing them.
It's all kind of silly the things we believe.
