More Helmet Debate
As summer time gets underway and more ATV's are playing in the dirt Congress keeps voting on laws. The latest however has been overthrown, for the second year in a row. Therefore children between the age of 6-15 will not be required, by law, to take a $75 training course and wear a helmet and goggles.
The reigning argument is that children are dieing on public property, where the law was not written to reach. Let's lean on the parents to start requiring their children to wear protective gear and the government, go back to keeping drugs and murderers off the street.

I think it should go without saying that helmets should be worn by each and every rider. I think the debate comes down to how to enforce that. Much easier said than done.

Agreed Four Wheeler, and to take it further things like correct foot wear when riding things like dirt bikes should be just as important.
