Yeah, what the issue?  Do you think the peeps didn't die and it is a conspiracy?  (they are all in witness protection programs so they seem dead) 

Do you think people that crash without a helment going 60mph have a better chance at living versus with a helmet? 

If someone hit you on the head with a bat, would it be better with or without a helmet?  Just curious. 

The right to ride without a helmet is a different issue, unrelated to the statistics.
