I am sure you don't mean it this way, but this suggests a false equivalency. If a cyclist does not wear a helmet and gets killed by a driver running a red light, it is still 100% the driver's fault. A kill is still a kill even if the victim didn't wear a bulletproof vest. |

Only the collision is 100% the driver's fault (in most states).
The death is up for debate. If you die because you weren't wearing a seatbelt/helmet, you were negligent, so fault is shared.
There is no law mandating everyone wear bulletproof vests. All states have seatbelt laws, and most have helmet laws.
