I've always thought it should work like this:
1. There would be no helmet laws.
2. When you go to buy insurance, they ask you, "Would that be a helmet,
or no helmet policy?" and charge you accordingly.
3. If you sign up for a helmet policy and crash with out one, your
insurance company has the option of declining to pay for any injuries,
head related or not.
I don't want to force anyone to wear one, but I don't want my insurance
premiums supporting stupid people either.
