It's the old "Your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins". Those of us who choose to wear our helmets and seat belts end up subsidizing the costs of those who do not in the form of higher insurance premiums and other, non quantifiable costs(increased burnout in Public Safety personnel, hospital workers, etc). So it's not done to protect you from yourself, it's done to protect the interests of society as a whole.
