Pretty controversial subject with good reasons on both sides of the argument. I don't have a problem with a law allowing you to ride without a helmet so long as you sign a waiver that says that you and/or your family are personally liable for any resulting costs associated with a traumatic head injury, no matter what. No declaring bankruptcy, etc. And if you don't have the money or any assets to sell, you just don't get treatment. Then it's a real choice. I just think it's only fair. But that's just my opinion. Of course, when PA eliminated the legal requirement to wear helmets it cost me money personally right off the bat. My insurance company immediately dropped ALL motorcycle insurance in this state within 2 months for that reason. So, my premiums went up as I had to split up my insurance. I don't blame them either.
