I don't understand why you think a seatbelt or an airbag is a better analogy to a helmet than a helmet. Helmets are perfect analogies to helmets.
Motorcycle airbags exist, add safety, and are perfect analogies to car airbags.
Motorcycle seatbelts are possible, are a net loss to safety (because you're strapped to the outside of a giant mass then crushed), and are perfect analogies to car seatbelts.
My point stands: All drivers in all vehicles are safer when wearing a helmet. Yet, for motorized vehicles we only legally impose helmets on motorcycles. It's seen as ludicrous to suggest we mandate helmets for the others though it'd save lives, cut societal costs, etc. It's seen as so ludicrous that people immediately redirect the topic. Like I made a category error or inference mistake in suggesting it.
