You probably weren't the sharpest tool in the shed. But 2) The government and insurance companies usually end up footing a huge bill at the hospital because some dumbass thought he looked cool not wearing a helmet. People's stupidity should not cost me money. So if they passed a law that said if you aren't wearing a helmet you won't receive medical treatment, I would probably be OK with that. An obvious exception would be if you were under 18. I mean if you were a responsible adult and knew what you were in for, I don't see why society should have to pay for it. |
The statement did not give details on the cause of death for Richardson, who suffered a head injury when she fell on a beginner's trail during a private ski lesson at the luxury Mont Tremblant ski resort in Quebec. She was hospitalized Tuesday in Montreal and later flown to a hospital in New York.
I am not for helmet laws, but people who die doing things risky are not stupid.
If 1 out of a million die skiing because they don’t have a helmet, accepting that risk to live life does not make you an idiot. I cannot think of a single enjoyable activity that does not come with risk. Risk means someone, somewhere will have something bad happen to them. It does not make that percentage less smart then the rest of us.
It’s like saying the guy who was harpooned by a fish deep sea fishing was a moron because he didn’t wear body armor.
