best bike helmet value image

I've already got a helmet but should I go get boots and chest protectors,ect. If I'm just going slow on trails?
Answer
I wear MX boots because ankle injuries are the #1 injury for riding off-road. My $400 boots are WAY cheaper than a broken ankle, months off the bike, etc..
I wear knee Braces (not just pads) because knee injuries are the #2 injury for off-road riding. I happened to watch my wife go through a torn ACL (knee damage), it took 3 YEARS for her to get back to a semblance of normal, and our hospital bills were well over $100,000
I wear padded riding shorts because it just plain hurts to fall on a hip
I wear elbow, shoulder, back and chest protection for the same reason.
I wear a neck brace because I like my collarbones intact and prefer not to finish out my life as a paralyzed person (or right there on the trail).
And finally, I wear a helmet because I value my head, and the brain it contains that sustains my life.
There's SO much more to it than just a helmet. My riding gear totals near $2000, but it's Still cheaper than a trip to the hospital, and is WAY more convenient than recovering from injury that was easily prevented.
Lol, opps.. I did forget gloves and goggles

Why is it illegal for someone not to wear a seat belt but motorcyclists don't have to wear one or a helmet?
p
Why can you get a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt in a car but a motorcyclist doesn't get a ticket for not wearing one or aren't required to wear helmets? They are more at risk for getting harmed in an accident.
Answer
Seat belts are a proven life saver. My family has been using seat belts in automobiles since the mid 1950's. No educated person doubts the effectiveness of seat belts in saving lives. No one of reasonable inteligence who values their life would ride without a seatbelt. Which means that the majority don't bother. The meddling do-gooders hence made it a law that you have to wear seat belts.
Personally I think it should be optional. The people that would die are of little use to society and easily replaced.
On the other hand, motorcycle helmets have not been show to be effective in saving lives. The States that have mandatory helmet usage has an insignificantly higher death rate per motorcycle accident.
While a motrocyclist will be injured in a collision, for any given person the risk of a collision is significantly lower on a motorcycle than in a car. I would rather avoid a collision on a bike than survive the collision in a car.
