<SNIP>Any deaths that result from not wearing a PFD is gene pool maintenance.  I'm always sorry for the survivors of the deceased, but in reality we're all better off without those defective genes.

Is it just me or does that paragraph seem to negate all the ones above it?

I wear my seatbelt all the time while I've worn a helmet just twice in my life. When I have my PFD on, it mean's I'm out of my comfort zone - afraid of what could happen. Buying a cycle is the first sign of insanity. Helmet, boots, leather to go with are only reminders that you are taking on a larger risk. Think of that next time you're in the shower. Got helmet? You could fall and drown ya-know!
