Let’s look at china. They have made helmets mandatory for e-bikes. Are they also blaming the victims or do they see a problem and are trying to fix it?

Helmets are a good idea I’m not disagreeing. But the idea that a helmet, a piece of foam and plastic will somehow protect you for a 1,000 LB metal cage going over 5MPH is insane. The helmets are for short falls only.
