I agree about the MC helmets. Funny, you can go to a MC website and read the argurments about full face vs. 3/4 helmets vs. skull caps. I also have read studies that indicate bike helmets also have the same issue with the mitigation of concussion injury.
I've never heard a Forensic Pathologist (medical examiner) say..."If the guy did not have a helmet, he would have survived." I have heard "to bad no helmet, he could have survived." Not he WOULD have...just that he could have.
