reality check : a BTI or Brain Trauma injury does not equate "a quick death". BTI patients will need to undergo months if not years of physical therapy, occupational therapy if not respiratory therapy.Let alone a prognosis of permanent disability removing them from the ability to work, earn an income and be financially independent.
I'm reasonably sure some percentage of helmetless people die quickly. Anyway, if you've got the math for what this costs society please share it so we all can see.
Please also include the cost of injuries from wearing a helmet (broken necks)
And a link showing how helmets are (laughably) tested for DOT approval
hint, they drop them on the floor from a height of six feet, the same height identified in the (questionable) Hurt report of 1981 which concluded 90% of accidents result in the rider falling on his/her head from a height of 6ft. Which oddly is the same height my head is before I fall down drunk. Perhaps I should wear a helmet all the time, or just when I'm drinking...
