So you believe that people that don't wear helmets will die and people that wear helmets will be naturally selected to survive as some sort of master race?
Darwinism would be more like... People that develop harder heads will survive... Darwin speaks of natural selection...
For the record... I know 2 guys who died from head injuries with helmets on...
Above higher speeds... they will just insure you leave a good looking corpse...
That being said I do wear a helmet - most of the time...
Down boy, down!! I believe in Darwinism from the stand point of natural selection. People who are smarter about their safety, i.e helmets, seatbelts, not deep frying a turkey in a pot on their gas stove at home,... will have a greater likelyhood of seeing tomorrow dawn. But at the same time, natural selection doesn't prevent people from doing stupid things to increase the chances that today will be the last sunset they'll see. The people that survive won't necessarily develope harder heads, but they may develope a stronger sense of safety or mortality.
