Ok then why should I have to pay for your immediate emergency room care. Or for your long term care in an assisted living facility since you'll be paralyzed from the neck down, (with some that won't matter, they're already paralyzed from the neck up). Here's a little article that looked at rate of head injuries since Pennsylvania repealed its helmet law: Head Injuries Increase Dramatically After Motorcycle Helmet Law Repeal ScienceDaily (June 16, 2008) â http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/06/080612162240.htm Pennsylvania motorcyclists suffered large increases in head injury deaths and hospitalizations in the two years following the repeal of its motorcycle helmet law, according to a University of Pittsburgh study. Even after accounting for increases in motorcycle registrations that occurred during this period, study authors noted a 32 percent increase in head injury deaths and a 42 percent increase in head injury-related hospitalizations, raising concerns about motorcyclists' safety and the impact of this trend on health care costs. ------------------ So again why should I have to pay for your stupidity if you refuse to wear a helmet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:339890 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
