Re 'Helmeted Warrior' the same thing is found to happen with cars. Except for seatbelts all 'safety' improvements like ABS, crumple zones and bags did make a car safer but it was found that people shifted percieved risk down; drove faster and took more risks. In the end the stats on accidents never changed. Silly aren't we? A few years back a barrister (in sydney I think) got off for dangerous driving. At the crux of the arguement was that his bently had the newest ABS and could stop faster than other vehicles. The magistrate agreed. Of course he did.
