@yinyangthang You don't wear seat belts to save you in a crash though the often do, you wear them so that in the event tyou have to make a sudden action to avoid and accident you don't lose control of you car. It keeps you in front of the wheel so you can maAke the second manuever that keeps you from crashing. If you didn't have you belt on...after the first sharp menuever youd most likerly be on the passenger side of the car an truly out of control!
Wearing a helmet in flat water is fine, not wearing one is fine too. None of us are in any position to tell someone weather or not to wear a helmet. (That said wear on in whitewater!)
Wearing a helmet in flat water is not comparable to wearing a seatbelt while driving. Wearing a helmet in flat water is comparable to wearing a helmet while walking. None of us wear helmets when we walk do we? There's about the same chance if not more that one will fall and hit there head while walking as there is flipping in flat water and hitting ones head on a rock.
wearing or not wearing a helmet is the kayakers decision, respect their judgement, its their brain!
Personal safety is the point. Why wouldnt you wear a seat belt?
Because its uncomfortable or you dont like it or its not cool or whatever?
I mean thats pointless. How can anyone be so flippant about their own personal safety as to paddle without a helmet or to drive in a car without a seatbelt?

@yinyangthang There are two words that have no place in sea kayaking they are, Never and Always.
For my part I anm a third rate swimmer in frigid water so a PFD and thermal gear is a must. In Virginia I know people that may not weat a PFD.
In Newfoundland you need it all.

@yinyangthang The government doesn't care about people like you to them the price that the insurance company pays for them is more important

Ok, but regulation isnt the point.
