Helmets

Although I am not a motorcyclist, I believe I have the perfect solution to the helmet problem:

All motorcyclists, whether they are now using helmets or not, should be required to file statements with their own insurance companies (if they are insured) and with the DMV, certifying that they (the motorcyclists) will hold all persons and companies harmless from liability in case of an accident which results in personal injury to the motorcyclist.

This statement should put the ball right in the lap of the motorcyclist and it will be his decision whether or not to wear a helmet.

Could anything be more fair than to let a motorcyclist take his own life in his hands?
