The US is a huge "I'll sue you, you bastard" empowered conglomerate. One person dies of a head injury that could have been prevented with a helmet and everyone's wearing em. It's declared "a standard" and enforced.
I'm sure they've prevented a few injuries and that's a plus. I think Americans are more about the "save the individual" and Europe is more about the "I'm part of the cool crowd".
