Some people dedicated their entire lives to forcing people to do "the right thing".

Those people don't understand freedom.

I don't care one bit if you wear a helmet or not - but your family might, have you asked them

Are figures kept for helmetless riders that 'only' receive a brain injury and are incapacitated for the rest of their lives? IMO deaths are irrelevant.

Or are figures kept about the number of riders that are involved in a minor incident, minor at least because a helmet prevented a head injury, and ride, or at least walk, away?

'Free choice' is great. Unfortunately that choice can have unexpected results.

Hardly unexpected. If I ride without a helmet, I expect that if I go down, and if I hit my head, I'll probably die or suffer a permanent brain injury. It's no one else's business if I choose to accept that risk.
