Ahh, an excellent point, seruzawa.
I am not a big fan of the AMA's helmet stance either but I am more concerned with issues like this. So what if the AMA is pushing for no helmet laws? Their stance on that position does not affect me like this issue does. I can always decide to put my helmet on even when the law does not require it but a $10k accident with no help from insurance could definitely keep me off a bike for a long time while I pay medical bills. I think I may just opt for that AMA membership after all.
