Fining riders caught not wearing helmets would deter them from riding without helmets, reducing the number of severe injuries and hospital costs. Taxing helmet sales and subsidizing hospitals would not directly address the problem of helmetless riders. Reimbursing injured riders' hospital bills may provide financial relief, but it does not address the root problem of preventing injuries in the first place.
