My husband and father are both alive because a helmet saved their lives. It made me sick to my stomach when PA passed this same law over a year ago. And in that same month they passed the seatbelt law. It did not make any sense. And now that the riding season is upon us, I cringe each time I hear about a cycle accident and it is one of our insureds that has been hurt. WE sell cycle insurance all day, and year long. Our company's revenue is based on this. But out of the 10 companies we write for now no longer cover the medical on the policy. We are just waiting for the other shoe to drop, and then the tort options will take place, your ride with a helmet all is good, your go without your screwed. I agree that a person has their right to choose but do you think that Insurance Companies and the Goverment will allow that Choice?
