>> a far greater number of people receive head injuries in car accidents that ever do on two wheels,
I think I don't believe that. Also, I think the important statistic is/was the difference between head injury frequency and severity to motorcyclists before and after the helmet law.
Still one could argue the same about many things, the seatbelt law for example.
In essence does society have a role in preventing us from putting ourselves at risk? I think to an extent it does though it is clearly a difficult line to draw. Especially when dealing with people unable to make such a decision themselves.
Even here where they mostly do not put much effort into protecting the populace, seatbelts, helmets on two wheels and similar are in place.
Though arguably those are in place to stop the whining of those who prefer to ban activities they do not wish to do themselves. And, of course, the media.
