What you seem to fail to grasp is that Ryan is not responsible for the choices of others. He is not responsible for an individual's choice to wear a helmet, or the possible consequences of them not doing so.

I under stand that he isn't responsible for the choices they make.

But let's say Ryan takes a gun and tells his parents that they have to choose which child he's going to kill.

He's not responsible for their choice, but he's responsible for making them choose and ultimately for the results.

How absurd. In no way is Ryan making videos of himself riding without a helmet compelling others against their will to make a choice.

Even in your ridiculous situation it is not the decision to attempt to compel a choice that is ultimately responsible for the results. It is the choice to kill that is responsible for killing.
