I read somewhere a while back about Target Risk - the theory is that people with protective gear on feel safer, so actually take more risk. The article mentioned SUV drivers, bicylce helmets, seatbelts, etc.
(For the record, I wear my seatbelt 100% of the time, and am against them being mandated by the government.)

Thanks MJM, you aroused my curiosity on this unique concept which led me to this very interesting
website!
The text of his first book can be found here. I climbed in to my truck, snugged up my seatbelt and felt so safe that I read most of his first few chapters while driving home from work this afternoon!
Seriously, a very interesting read so far!
