Florida REVOKED on the HELMET LAW for motorbike riders :shock: ?!?!?!!?
That is about the silliest thing I have ever heard any state do!
It is a personal freedom thing. the right to choose. I'd never ride sans helmet either, bit I support the right of those who choose not to wear one to make the choice. Yep, deaths will rise as a result, but that is one of the consequences of our actions and decisions.
It is a shame, but the man made a choice when he got on the bike without a helmet, and he made a choice when he applied more throttle than was needed. I think speed was more of an issue than the helmet here. It doesn't much matter what you're wearing, if you hit something @ 85MPH you ain't gonna be recognizable afterwards. Humans weren't made to bounce.
Those photos would be excellent fodder for for a few bike safety campaigns. :thumbup:
