Would helmet laws apply since it's a rolling loophole and is a motorcycle?

I work in EMS. We get a lot of customers from 4-wheeler wrecks. I am not sure if those things will be "good for business" or not. I really need the victims to survive the first 15 minutes or so in order to respond.

There was a review of it in yesterday's Wall Street Journal. The reviewer wasn't impressed at all.

It considered a motorcycle and helmet laws apply. If you don't wear a helmet and other appropriate gear you are seriously decreasing your odds of surviving a accident. I'd say these type of vehicles are marginally safer then a motorcycle. I ride and clearly understand the risk and do what I can to mitigate it but you cannot eliminate it.
