I don't understand why they don't just make a law... preferably a federal law that states "under 16 helmet required". Put it out there like a child protective thing and what legislator would have the cojones to vote nay.

I know they won't pass one for adults because adults are supposed to have common sense... heck NH doesn't require motorcyclists to wear helmets; which I think is soooooo stupid. Been there, done that (when I was 18-19) and now I go on the "sweat is cheaper than skin grafts" theory.
