This is just a little fun debate.. just because I want to see how things go. I personally think that they should because of safety reasons.. numerous ones. I'll be glad to debate with you and alongside you.. I just don't feel like babbling until I can get a second statement.

I hate helmets, but yes I do think they should be required to be worn. If you don't you could get really hurt. So it could save you in the long run.

Helmets are a safety necessity and thus a requirement when riding a motorcycle/bicycle or even a unicycle.

Most certainly. Not wearing them because they "look uncool" is a stupid reason to die or end up with massive brain damage. XD

Of course they should be mandatory. It's not like they're driving a vehicle and even then they have to worry about idiots on their cellphones while driving and that's all the more reason you need it.

Wow. You have nothing to argue with.
I'll try. I did this in 6th grade. This very topic.. but I was for it.
Something that my opponent used was that when bike riders wear a helmet, they are likely to fall off and break the helmet.

I'm for it, but I say just let people be stupid. It's their fault if they die from a head injury. I feel the law should only apply to protecting people from an individual, but not that individual from himself.

Shilberu Erikku I'm for it, but I say just let people be stupid. It's their fault if they die from a head injury. I feel the law should only apply to protecting people from an individual, but not that individual from himself. The law already does protect people from themselves in some cases. If someone is for example in prison. Then they are found out to be suicidal. They will be put on death watch to make sure they don't hurt themselves. I've heard cases of people failing to destroy themselves. An end result is they will then be placed in a facility for the mentally insane. These are extreme cases I'm quoting though it does happen. I personally don't understand the logic behind protecting someone from themselves as long as it doesn't harm others. Though, I do understand that others can be the cause of this temporary ailment. There are indirect causes of someone not wearing a helmet. Are also factors to be considered. A larger Hospital bill for one. Or, the cost of a funeral in the worst case. Not wearing a helmet should be a ticket-able offense just like driving without insurance. In both cases, your actions are potentially harming someone.

WHY? Same concept applies to drugs and alcohol.

WHY? Same concept applies to drugs and alcohol. This is quite a non-empathetic attitude you have. You are saying you are against the protection of life in this case. Yet, you are of the position. Not because you have any reason to hold this view. But because you lack a reason to care about the issue at hand. It's really quite a cold response. The fact that most people. Will abandon there attempts at suicide after failure. Is reason enough to protect then from themselves.Drugs and Alcohol are outlawed. Because of the negative effects they have on people. Some drugs are so hazardous. That they risk the life of the person using them. Others, its more of an indirect cause. If someone is under the influence of alcohol or drugs behind the wheel. They are putting other people and themselves at risk Then there is the aggression drugs like Alcohol bring out of people.

Well, it depends in what situation and what context that helmets would have to be worn. For motorcyclists and cyclists, I believe that they must wear helmets. Countless lives are saved with the wearing of a helmet.
However, in more casual situations, for instance with non-electric/petrol scooters, I think that helmets should not be required to be worn, but should be encouraged.
