” at least $20,000 in personal injury health insurance.”
Nowhere near enough for a serious head injury! Someone with severe head trauma will end up on the public dole. Taxpayers will get screwed.

I had a wreck on June 29th. I don’t remember what happened, I just woke up in intensive care four days later with six broken ribs, a concussion, a bruised liver, two broken wrists and numerous cuts and abrasions. My wife told me my head looked like a pumpkin with hair. If I hadn’t been wearing the helmet I wouldn’t be here.
The cost for the ICU stay (11 days) was around $60,000 dollars. That’s not including all the individual doctors bills and the cost of wrist surgery.
That being said, I’m in favor of letting people do what they want concerning helmets. Now whenever I see someone riding a bike in shorts, flip-flops, a T-shirt and no helmet I cringe inside.
