It's hard to draw any conclusions about what's really going on from the legislative report, said Charles Umbenhauer, lobbyist for ABATE of Pennsylvania.

Especially if you're pushing a lunatic hypothesis that wearing a helmet is more injurious than not.

And Umbenhauer also warns that "The Pennsylvania Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians and the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma are lobbying Pennsylvania to re-enact a mandatory helmet law." In addition, "the American Automobile Association (AAA) is also pushing for a mandatory helmet law for all motorcyclists."

Hmmm, ABATE is worried that legislation would be influenced by actual ER and insurance experiences; can we spell I-R-R-A-T-I-O-N-A-L?
