There is nothing in anything the founding fathers did which provides for a nanny state. So what if someone died doing something they chose to do in a way they chose to do it. What part of freedom dictates anyone else decide to limit that choice?
No amount of legislation or hand wringing worry by those who would protect us from ourselves will put an end to the reality that humans die.

Try wearing a burka through US customs or into a bank or even in a store. I'm pretty sure they would ask you to remove it. I've seen it happen. There have been lots of incidents around the world with people trying to thwart identity checks buy covering their face with a burka.
They have female TSA agents and private screening rooms for that and similar reasons.

If not wearing a helmet is safer in a motorcycle accident than wearing a helmet or the rate of head injuries and fatalities has dropped rather than increased with a corresponding repeal of the helmet law in a particular state I would sure like to see your sources. I double checked, no one has posted any links to studies that support the claim that helmets are ineffective at helping to prevent head injuries. Please post these links you refer to.
