Well, it has been 50 years in the making but Michigan has struck down the motorcycle helmet law.  It is now legal to ride a motorcycle without a helmet.

Bikers have long contended that helmets should be a choice and not required.  They claim that if they wear a helmet and are in an accident, the helmet will keep them alive but they will probably be paralyzed. With out a helmet, they would just be dead. So, they would rather be dead than paralyzed for life.

I wonder if seat belts will be optional?
