Actually it's a Good idea, to have people ride without helmets, we call that "Natural Selection"

They should be allowed to ride without a helmet provided they pre-pay the neurosugeon.
Anybody that would want to ride a bike without a helmet needs their head examined anyway!
Maybe that is an approach to reducing water consumption. Maybe they should require a 100,000 dollar deposit when you buy a motorcycle to pay for part of your care when you scramble your brains. If you don't need it, they could put a check in your coffin or among your ashes.
Sure they should. As long as they have one million in personal injury/care insurance along with it. Someone mentioned $100k, which wouldn't come close to covering brain damage.
Freedom of choice.
Freedom of choice is lovely until I have to pay for the police and fire departments to go out and collect unhelmeted motorcyclists with a stick and a spoon. The only people who want motorcycle riders to be able to go without a helmet played football without a helmet.
Only if the second part of the bill has a rider that states that only the responsible parties are financially on the hook for expenses if a rider is sans helmet.
