Yes, and some people will debate endlessly about seatbelt usage also, even though statistics prove that your chances of surviving a collision with a seatbelt on are much, much better than not wearing one.
Same thing with helmets, some people will debate endlessly in the face of glaring facts contrary to what they "think."
Study the statistics of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and you will find the following...
"Motorcycle operator error was identified as a contributing factor in 76 percent of fatal crashes involving motorcycles. Excessive speed was the contributing factor most often noted."
