In some states and countries they are required. In others they are not. Personally I think they should be required to wear full face helmets simply because you can't breathe or see when you are riding at 70 mph through a dust storm and you become a safety hazard, but that is just me.

The bottom line is that a helmet doesn't make you a safer rider. Being a safer rider makes you a safer rider. The helmet just separates the open coffin funerals from the closed coffin ones. If you hit a mattress on the freeway at 2:30 in the morning doing 70 miles per hour then you are going to die regardless of whether or not you have a helmet. Unless you ride as armored up as the professional racers are set up, then you are going to break important bones like your neck or back, and equally important organs are going to be damaged like your lungs, liver, and heart. Helmets don't safe a lot of lives really. They might make the bodies easier to identify, but most accidents happen at such speeds that the other injuries will kill the rider.

What is the safest hockey helment?

I did some research after getting a concussion and found that the m11 (designed by mark messier) is different (and better, apparently) in how it distributes force around the head. It is a one piece helmet, as opposed to most hockey helmets which are two pieces. The padding on the inside is also different, and I find it to be more comfortable. The only problem I have is it's a pain to change the size of the helmet. The Harvard hockey team recently switched to the m11, so if the helmet is good enough to protect their brains, it's good enough to protect mine

Zombies are trying to hurt your family and you try to protect them what does it mean?

If zombies are trying to hurt your family (by eating their brains) and you're trying to protect them, it probably means that you need to be careful you don't get your brain eaten by the zombies. If they turn their aggression on you, you could be in a world of hurt. I've seen movies where the zombies rip off arms and legs they're so eager to munch on some brains. And if you get eaten by the zombies, who is going to protect your family? Not the zombies...that's for sure.
