It's amazing to me that people value their hairdo over their brain or even their life. Nothing against the actress who just lost her life, as it is very sad and I feel for her family at this time...but to refuse to wear a helmet when you are participating in a sport that you've never done or don't do very often is tempting fate at the very least. But when you are a mother with young kids, or even not so young children, it is a little bit selfish. Because of her fatal decision to not wear a helmet her two boys no longer have a mother and her husband, a wife. We as a society have to realize that although it seems that we are alone in the world sometimes, our actions don't just effect us anymore...they have a ripple effect that can possibly touch the world...as we have seen in this and several other cases.
I know there are those of you out there that say "We are adults and we can chose whether or not to wear a helmet if we want to." Yes, you can, but unfortunately we taxpayers here in Canada don't get the choice whether we want to pay to keep you on life support or not!
I know one can never predict when they are going to leave this earth helmet or not...at least you can help prevent a fatal injury...and we all know that kids do as we do more than what we say!
I welcome your views on this matter.
