    I've always thought that people who refuse to wear helmets (especially on
    motorcycles) ought to be automatic organ donators.
    
    Just something to make it partially worthwhile for the rest of us with upped
    insurance premiums, waiting patiently in line behind them at the ER.
    
    I saw a lady come off a horse on an incline and get kicked in the head.  All
    of us were sure she was dead.  Helmet took the whole force of the blow.  She
    not only got up and finished the ride, but the helmet came apart in chunks
    when she got back to camp and undid the chin strap.
    
    Every ride, every time.
