But really?
This is why the debate is so acrimonious. People like yourself simply cannot understand how others may have different points of view about whether wearing helmets is justified.
We all make decisions every day on where on the risk spectrum we want to be. Different people will make different decisions on the same things. I don't speak for others, but, without meaning to insult anyone here, I simply don't care whether others understand how I make my decisions. Not do I care or try to understand how they make theirs.
BTW- there are people out there who simply cannot understand how bicyclists are willing to put their lives at risk by riding in traffic.
