The problem, of course, is that lots of them don't quite make it to
death. Instead, they become life-long invalids, costing hundreds of
thousands or millions of dollars to support. *WE ALL* pay the price
for their macho hormone-fueled stupidity.

If the outcome were a binary "live fine or die", it would be a lot
easier for society to support the concept of the helmet-free simply
self-thinning the herd. But it's not nearly that binary and these
clowns can't dismiss society's interest in their well-being.
