Great idea for the Europeans,rent a large motor bike while on holiday. Then wear no safety equipment,drink,go fast late at night in roads that they are unfamiliar with.Ah yes maybe get an Honorable mention in the Darwin's awards.

Whilst I agree to a degree,  your sweeping statement isn't 100%the case.  Mine is a UK gold safety standard helmet that I would Never leave home without even for short journey. 

I know a helmet does not guarantee survival but why not try and increase the odds in your favour
