In general I am in favour of these types of laws, for two reasons. One, I have actually studied the damages cause by falls or impacts to the head, and it really takes very little to cause serious issues, and there is nothing more saddening than seeing a completely functional up and coming person turn in to a vegetable because they didn't wear a helmet. Helmets aren't perfect, but the reduction in brain injury while wearing helmets is substantial.
The second reason is because I live in a different system, where everyone gets healthcare without charge, and it is paid for by the countries taxes. In this case I am really for safety laws, because since the country will be paying for the injuries sustained when having an accident it should be expected that you take at least the most basic precautions.
We do in fact have safety laws here, they aren't all that strict usually they won't ticket you, they will just give you a warning or two, but they are allowed to ticket you.
