The showdown took place in Bonita Springs, Florida. It was a seesaw battle, but in the end, the bikers won. To be truthful, Mensa played without the services of its president, Jeff Avery. He disqualified himself, being president of both clubs. It seems intuitive that wearing something hard on your head would help you survive a motorcycle accident.

Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia now have laws mandating helmet use by adult motorcyclists. The laws appear to work. That sounds good, but we could make the same argument for surfing helmets. Let's say Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming pass laws requiring helmet use by surfers. California does not.
