Motorcycles, Helmets, Wrecks, Brain Damage and the Freedom to be Stupid

By Steve Lombardi

ADVERTISEMENTS

We need to remember that there is no free lunch. Any freedom can cost society when exercised in an irresponsible way. Motorcyclists who are involved in wrecks and not wearing helmets account for a large number of victims suffering debilitating brain damage. In a society that wants maximum freedom from government intervention but also wants no patient left behind there is the perfect storm. On the one side of this argument are the motorcycles riders who say don't tread on my freedoms. Allow me to ride as I wish without taking away my right to choose whether or not to wear a helmet. That argument appeals to most as the true spirit of America. And the argument might die there if it weren't for the enormous costs associated with caring for brain damaged victims.
