They were not coerced into dying. I prefer fewer people dying personally, your mileage might vary.

All I can say is I am glad that the actual people making decisions seem to also prefer fewer people dying over non-coercion.

>They were not coerced into dying

Despite this bare denial, I believe "coerced into dying" to be an accurate description of someone coerced into not wearing a helmet dying of head injuries from an unavoidable accident

sorry, that's not a coercion I'm willing to make. First, do no harm. Come back when you've tried safer ways to reduce risky behavior.
