Aharpo.148 net.cycle utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!ARPAVAX:mhtsa!harpo!ber Wed Dec 16 23:44:40 1981 helmets This was in reply to my rather obnoxious statement about helmets (which I feel is true nevertheless) We decided to share it. Perchance I have stimulated some discussion.

Re: Helmet comments

I couldn't agree more about helmets, you should be allowed to go get yourself killed anyway you see fit. I, for one, would be DEAD if there hadn't been a helmet law in North Carolina! They are inconvient, they limit your vision, they are hot in the summer but it really bring things home when you end-up with TREAD MARKS on it. I think helmet laws are a pain in one sense but there is a very good reason for them (among other things they keep my insurance rates down).

Just slightly off the subject, did you know that there is a 100% accident rate in Washington, D.C.?

Also, it would have been nice if you'd phrased you comments differently. I don't feel that was appropriate on the net.
