Why are there helmet laws? Why should people be forced to be safe? If we want to do something completely inadvisable and dangerous, isn't it our God-given right to do so? I think it should be.
Like, how can skydiving be legal, but not riding a bike without a helmet? It's jumping out of a freaking airplane! That's like a thousand times more dangerous! And you could EASILY regulate something like that. You could easily stop people from doing that! Outlaw parachutes! Simple! But no you can't do that. Riding a bike without helmet is far more dangerous. Once you start doing that, it's just a slippery slope to anarchy! What's next? JAYWALKING?
Come to think of it, why do they make you wear a helmet when you go skydiving? I mean, I know Seinfeld has already done a whole routine on that, but seriously, what is the deal here? Is it the same thing as bike helmets? Do we HAVE to do this? Does anyone know if there's a law about it? That would be great if there was. Who's came up with that? How could you possibly get through an entire proposal about that without laughing about the great joke you're playing.
"Yeah, I think we should make everyone start wearing helmets while they skydive!"
"Um....why exactly?"
"THEY COULD GET HURT"
Careful when you jump out of that plane. It might hurt.
This.
ReplyDeleteFun fact: The helmets are because of the landing part. Even though they have parachutes, you still hit the ground at a really fast speed and if you suck at everything, you might f@#%$@$# it up and hit your head on something. I guess.
I'm pretty sure if you're not coordinated enough, you should have never been allowed to go skydiving. And you deserve to die.
ReplyDeleteAlso that.
