12 years riding a bike, I never got hurt once.
As soon as people starting forcing helmets on their kids, accidents everywhere.

WTF?
Do helmets weaken your delta brain waves or something?

I think I heard there was a study saying that people do stupider shit when they put on safety equipment -- they called it "take more risks".

That may also be why skin cancer rates are higher compared to before sunscreen was more popular. Got sunscreen, I can stay out all day long under the strongest sun no worries?

Extreme example: I got a new bulletproof vest, shoot me to test it out.

Well, how do you know it'll protect you if you don't test it in the best kind of test there is?
