What I don't understand is, why, Sikhs would want to put themselves in harm in the first place. I would guess your chances of getting hurt on bumper cars is pretty low, but why risk it? Is going on bumper cars that important to you that it is worth the risk of scrambling your brains? Same with a motorcycle. The risk of sustaining a serious injury is pretty high if you crash a bike. Take that helmet off and I am sure the fatality rate is through the roof. And CC if they are dumb enough to actually not what to wear a helmet in combat, I'd say let them because obliviously they don't have anything to protect anyways. I'm kidding of course, actually I wouldn't want someone that wouldn't wear a helmet in the military, they would probably just be a liability to everyone in their squad anyways.
I don't like how religious beliefs/practises trump all. There is no way someone would be able to challenge this helmet rule if it wasn't backed by religion. But for whatever reason religion is put above all safety, reason, and logic to accommodate.

The whole safety and liability movement is a North American creation that hasn't hit every place in the world yet. Go on vacation to many parts of the world as evidence of this. Anyway, if these Sikh's are somewhat new to the country than it makes sense that they aren't overly concerned about safety. Also their headwear being a religious custom and all would probably have them more worried about honoring their religion than the risks of life on Earth.
However that being said, why is it the rest of us that have to accomodate them as opposed to the whole them avoiding situations in which would compromise their religion. Afterall many western religions call for abstainance of many things readily available in western society. Those people are forced to avoid those situations. Why is that too much to ask Sikh's to do as well?
