Increasing calls for mandatory national helmet-laws in Canada
Hot on the heels of this study: http://injuryprevention.bmj.com/cont...4/219.abstract

Conclusions: Canadian youth and adults are significantly more likely to wear helmets as the comprehensiveness of helmet legislation increases. Helmet legislation is not associated with changes in ridership.
"Clearly, helmet legislation works and clearly it reduces serious head injuries and facial lacerations."


"A lot of people don’t wear them, and they seem to be the biggest daredevils. In the end, when they get hurt, all of society pays for them."

I think you get the drift...
