i got reminded today about how obsessive reddit is about helmets
I've noticed that the vast majority of people who bitch about helmets are either people who have never been in a situation that actually justified wearing a helmet or insecure middle aged men who shave their legs and wear tight spandex for the sole purpose of speeding down the bike lane at 60.05mph instead of 60mph. It's just forgetin' annoying.
It's the equivalent of autists who stuff their pants every time someone at the gun range hands their friend a rifle with the bolt closed. Like, yes, I get the idea behind it, but you're not stating the obvious because you care about my safety, you're doing it because you have deep seated control insecurities and you like telling other people how to live their life. Stop.
Wherever Pie Crust got the idea that Americans are big in safety, I have no idea, safety is disregarded most of the time. Most ride without helmets, motorcycles are required to wear one however
Have you ever seen factory work in 3rd world countries? It's terrifying. It's not a stretch to confuse "basic consideration for human life" with "safety obsessed" when you live in a stuffhole like Argentina
