It's your right to put your life on the line out there, however I hope that in Canada if you choose to ride without a helmet (against the law here) that the medical system will refuse to treat you for any life threatening head injuries. My tax dollars pay for medical treatments here, and if you choose to do something as stupid as ride helmetless then I hope that you die of whatever injuries you sustain. I don't want to see my money wasted on someone who doesn't care about his life enough to wear a 2lb peice of plastic.
i cant help but say how wrong that is. its sad you think that way and your lucky the medical team that treated you for your accident werent the type of people that think this way towards any motorcycle rider.
they could have seen you come in knowing you were on the bike with injurys and said "he was taking a stupid risk by not being in a car so why should we treat him" but i guess that doesnt matter to you. anything that goes against your beleifs is wrong and therefore noone should do it cause you dont. maybe they dont want to see their money wasted on someone that rides a motorcycle and not a car.
maybe a kid riding a bicycle shouldnt be treated when hes in an accident and left to sit in a coma and die cause he had no helmet? or maybe a person crossing the street and hit by a car should be left to die after all if they valued their life they wouldnt cross a dangerous road would they? most certainly to hell with anyone that has a helmet that gets thrown off during the accident obviously they should be refused treatment as well?
hey were you wearing full leathers during your accident, maybe that was a sign to refuse you treatment after all anyone smart enough would value their skin and put on a protective layer of leather right? i mean how can you care about your skin so much and not protect it while riding then expect a hospital to treat you? maybe if you had leathers you wouldnt have torn up knees? but again you didnt think about any of this did you.
your judging others the same way people judge you, both cases are wrong and its sad you will never come to under stand that no matter what anyone says, maybe when your older you wont be so quick to judge and condem everyone that differs from you.
) and tell me if you would do the same to your head. Also, we have not seen the other side of this helmet! 
The point to consider is, what do you think the injuries his head would have sustained had it been IT experiencing the force of the multiple impacts/slides instead of the helmet? And please do not try to convince us that his head would have fared better...
