Motorcycle helmets

Recently it has been talked about on the news here in Idaho about laws requiring motorcyclists to wear helmets. Currently Idaho law only requires under 18 to wear a helmet. What I don't understand about the whole issue, is if the government can require people inside a motor vehicle to wear a seat belt, why can't they do the same for a helmet on someone not wearing a seat belt on a motorcycle?

Yes freedom, feel wind across your head. Show your family what happens if you ever hit your head on the pavement. I recently saw someone fall over on his motorcycle, barely moving and hit his head needed an ambulance. I wonder how it would have turned out if it happened at even 35 mph. Oh, right it won't happen to you.
