I'm guessing that, despite the helmets, there were a fair few dollars expended on hospital bills after this.

Knowing full well that in many cases even a helmet won't negate your harm when a car is involved, are you not also one of "those people" who choose to put themselves in harms way, simply by deciding to share the road with 2 tonne vehicles travelling at speed.

You have stated before that your choice to wear a helmet gives you a greater right to exist than those who don't.

So I'm assuming you are OK with people who choose not to ride for fear of being hit by a car, having the same view of you. After all, compared to their viewpoint, you "don't have that inbuilt preservation circuit".

Please understand, I don't think this, and am not having a go at you. I am hoping that seeing how your own thinking could just as easily be applied against you, helps you understand why some here are finding it difficult to comprehend how you can make such sweeping and damning statements about the actions or choices of others.
