[QUOTE="9397SVTs, post: 16703379, member: 143297"] While I agree with having freedom of choice, sometimes that choice affects other people. Injuries sustained in accidents where people are not using safety equipment should not be automatically covered by insurance. Why should the rest of us pay higher insurance costs because of these choices? The tricky part for me is that my opinion is not all or nothing. If you're riding without a helmet and break your arm/leg, what does the lack of a helmet have to do with the injury? Nothing. So, how do you avoid getting lost in the weeds determining if the lack of safety equipment is a contributing factor? I guess you could litigate it in court. Perhaps those who want to exercise their rights can pay higher rates? I don't ride, but if I did, I would wear a helmet and leather gear. I always wear a seatbelt. To me, it just seems ignorant not to. Freedom comes at a cost. Sometimes that cost is personal responsibility. [/QUOTE]
