When motorcyclists wear helmets, they are less likely to die if they crash--no one disputes that. But should helmets be mandatory? The question came to the fore last week after Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, a helmet opponent, crashed his bike, breaking his jaw. Pennsylvania didn't require him to wear a helmet; 30 states have rolled back their helmet laws since the 1960s, and more may follow.

As Eric Matthews from “Boy Meets World” once told his brother Corey, “Life’s tough. Get a helmet.” Am I really encouraging you to go out and wear a helmet everywhere a la Natalie Portman in “Garden State?” No. It is really not the ideal accessory for your “I’m done with finals...
