They should be...if you can afford the toy you can afford the proper gear

not wearing a helmet on an atv , motor bike or snowmobile is like playing russian rulet , eventually your luck runs out .

Texas state law is that if you are over 16, and have insurance for non helmet, you and the passenger can be with out helmet on a motorcycle. I talked to a cop to clarify it, and the additional insuance is about $5.00/year. He said it was to cover the cost of the bucket they would have to shovel whats left of you brain into if you dont have a helmet they can use.



I wear one all the time now.

Great to hear you're wearing that helmet, and don't forget that you're handgun has to be worn outside of your bibs.
(No-one tell him we're not in Texas, Ok!)

when we were kids we never had a helmet till we got the faster sleds
mind you back then not very many people had helmets
now i dont even think twice about it and im not even sure if it is law in alberta to wear them on private property

i always wear them now even on the mountain bike

X2...We never wore helmets growing up on sleds either ( That was back 30yrs ago) now I wouldn't think of riding without one...but that being said should the government be regulating everything we do?? We never wore seat belts either or helmets on bicycles and I am sure there were no more injuries then there is now. Maybe because of all these regulations people lost all there common sence. Maybe I'm wrong here but just my 2 cents.

According to global News last night there are only 2 provinces in Canada in which helmets are NOT mandatory. Those are Alberta and BC

Having grown up around toys all my life, it was just ground into us that if you want to play, you gotta have a helmet. If Terry saw us on a quad or sled or whatever without a helmet.... chit hit the fan....

Now, i wouldnt have it any other way, it's second nature to put on a helmet - same as my seat belt.

not mandatory for adults in Idaho riding anything

Keeps my ears warm on a sled but you will never see the hippie wearing on on his bike!!!!

This is something that shouldn't need a Law. But if there is any doubt about the subject just read the sticker on your machine that is usually beside your left knee.

Funny enough that people can read the sticker that tells them to put the right type of fuel in but not the one that says wear a crash cap.

 

[Ryano]

they only time I don't ware my helmut when quading is when I'm hunting but also don't go over 10kpm either and no horsen around when my rifle is on the quad

 

[Scrambled]

im not sure of the law,but my law is I wont ride with someone without one,
I refuse to deal with your head injuries because your to cool or stupid to wear one,thats just me though,under 19 it shouldnt even be optional I think,if at20 you dont wanna wear one owell,but you aint ridin with me.

 

[powderpusher]

not illegal in alberta to ride with out a helmut,been guilty of doing it myself before but now wont go with out one ,i think it should be mandatory as they can save your life in a crash on these newer powerful sleds
