Ed the whole point is that motor cycles are very dangerous. There is no protection at all. Plus DOT certified helmets are not all they are cracked up to be plus the are hot, uncomfortable and restrict both your vision and hearing. Most states found that they had fewer accidents when they repealed helmets laws. When I retired from the Army you were required to wear a long sleeve manure, gloves, reflective vest, shoes that covered your ankles and a helmet both on and off post is you were a service member. So every soldier that I knew of that died on a bike was wearing a helmet. I had the additional duty in several units, I was the accident reporting NCO. Any time a soldier was injured in any kind of accident both on and off post, while on or off duty I had to investigate it and file a report up the chain of command. I made more than one trip to the morgue to view a body, saw several veggies in the hospital and some guys that were just plain lucky. On guy at Ft Bliss leaned way over to cut a corner and caught his face shield on a sigh post.....yup he was wearing a helmet.....his head was still in it about 100 feet from his body. Another traveling at a very high rate of speed hit a Ford LTD hard enough to total the car.....he was bruised from his ankles to his neck, his crotch crushed the gas tank as he was going off the bike and over the car, he bruised his heart, had a sprained wrist and ankle. Every one I investigated was wearing a helmit. During the same time frame none of my civvy friends or relatives that rode and did not wear helmets were involved in an accident.
