Is it nannyism, or self protection!

Not exactly, but I'll bet you're gonna tell us its MUCH WORSE than when a rider's exposed FACE meets the solid asphalt PAVEMENT and what happens after friction between the two has taken it's toll.:palm:

Is wearing a seat belt, being trapped in a car that's on fire, and burning to death; worse then dying from the impact??

Now, go educate yourself; seeing as how you're only running on FEELINGS and not KNOWLEDGE. :good4u:
 
Personally I think that The Nannyism in the U.S. has gone way to far. Now their telling us what kind of food we can and can not eat.

Helmets don't always protect against that. The bike shops I go to sell two models of helmets; Closed casket and open casket.

That's a big progressive cause out here in San Francisco and California as far as regulating the health of the food served in public schools.

The schools in WA now have diet-only pop machines. I'm sooo glad I graduated the year before my district instituted the policy!!

Especially since diet pop is worse for you than normal pop.

I believe that's only true (regarding weight) for children under 12. Middle (at least the ones without 6th graders) and high school kids should be just fine, and elementary schools don't ever have vending machines.

Diet sucks because some flavours just can't be done in diet form the way colas can. Rootbeer sucks and Mt. Dew is an abomination (paging Gitmo)!!

The artificial sweetener of choice is aspartame, a chemical that ferments into formaldehyde. Not to mention it it bad on your kidney and brain, and increases the likely hood of associated cancers.
 
Ouch, that sucks. I didn't know that about the sweetener in diets. Formaldehype is not something you want in your system (its in cigarettes, and specifically it goes into your lungs!!)

As long as a person has enough insurance I am happy for them to do what they want to themselves.

How the fuck does anything anyone else does on a two wheeled vehicle have anything to do with you? Go learn some grammar and spelling.

Glad your experiences with them have been positive and non-fatal. As far as seat belts go, I've seen them kill several people is several different instances. There are plenty of good reasons NOT to wear a helmet while riding. Wind shear, reduced hearing and visibility, uncomfortable chin straps that distract you from riding, etc. Not to mention the whole 'freedom to live my life as I please' thing.

a friend of mine is a paramedic (20 years), he claims that he has never had to unbuckle a corpse...your odds are better with that seat belt on than with it elsewhere
