Mr. MacLeod, you are wrong. I have been alive for the past 35 years because I was wearing a helmet. A truck backed out on my bike in 1970 and during the impact my helmet hit the truck and a piece was broken out of my helmet instead of my head. I was going 50 miles an hour. Statistics such as yours are so dangerous. I lived though this event and will continue to live because of one item, my helmet. Lives will be lost, disabilities will occur and millions of dollars will be spent due to the inaccuracies of the information of people like you. I am in Senator Cropsey's district and he has permanently lost my vote. I hope the governor I didn't vote for and seldom agree with does a better job than the legislature and vetos this foolish bill.
