We have had medical emergencies and people suffering injuries on our property and it sticks with you. You don't just laugh it off and move on. If a helmet rule would prevent us having to watch an ambulance transport a child to the hospital, it would be worth any inconvenience it causes those who oppose such rules.
the 'if it saves just one life' argument. it's not a matter of inconvenience...it's a matter of being free to make mistakes and do dangerous things that may result in injury or death. heck, almost all of us think nothing about getting into an auto and driving. should we do everything possible to make autos safer if it would mean saving one more life? of course not. if we did then autos would be built like tanks. life is full of risk beginning with waking up and getting out of bed in the morning. where do the rules...the 'if it saves just one life' arguments end?
