I personally think it is the government's job to persecute people in cases like this, but then again I'm a dirty baby-eating socialist (according to an online test I took.)

Cynical as it sounds, people are, by and large, dumbfucks. A good 60% of the population (and that's a pretty conservative estimate) really does need to be told not to put themselves in situations where they can be injured -- like cars with no seatbelts or motorcycles with no helmets.
