Please post statistics that prove helmets do not provide protection and eliminate death and disabilities for riders. I've been wrong before but hope I'm not wrong this time.
Please reread what I wrote. I will pray for this man regardless of him not wearing a helmet. I did not mean to imply that helmets do not matter because I know they do protect the head in case of an accident.

The man injured has the right to not wear a helmet and is within the law. Do I think its a smart choice, absolutely not. My husband always wears a helmet and when I use to ride I always wore mine.

Its a matter of choice and those that choose to ride without head protection will suffer the consequences in the event of an accident. They know the risk and are willing to take that chance.
