He was obviously so clever that he missed the important difference between doing something because its the law and doing something because it will help save your life in a crash.
Actually, No. In fact, that important distinction was the entire thesis of his first article: just because it may "save" (prolong is a more accurate word) one's life is no reason to legislate forced compliance.
But no matter. I figure by the time I'm 65 or so, it'll be mandatory to wear helmets in automobiles (an equally good idea as seatbelts), and hip protectors when walking about (too many older people damaging hips today).
