[QUOTE="Deadmeat, post: 211627, member: 704"] I don't have a dog in this fight so don't shoot the messenger. As I understand it, the reason helmets are required in some states is that the estimated cost of lifelong medical care from a TBI (traumatic brain injury) is between $3-4 million. Needless to say, most motorcycle riders don't carry a policy that will cover that amount, so once the amount of coverage is used up someone else is footing the bill. The lawmakers believe that reducing the possibility of suffering a TBI through use of a helmet is preferable to spreading the cost of the medical care from a rider who suffers a TBI through non-use of one.
