Please wear a HELMET

[dynodon]

We were on a ride today @ Eureaka dam area, and a young man who was there about ten - fifteen minutes was seriously injured. Mostly Due to not wearing a Helmet. It only takes a second to put it in, and believe me it could be your own "LIFE" you save!
The man was airlifted out to Gainsville. Don`t know the man, or his name he was alone.
    Prayers, and thoughts to his Family.........., And All the more reason to put on the Helmet.

Injuries are almost happening everyday.  I hope people stop and realize that a helmet can save your life.  I hope that guy is ok.

i was there today with dyno don   its a shame that people dont were helmets  the funny thing is when they were air lifting the guy out  people were still letting there kids ride with out helmets :X :oo :K people will never learn even when they see it first hand

[Chillinthemost]

Thats a shame. Did he have a ball cap turned around backwards? It seems that there are those that believe that that offers some protection.
I always wear mine and my kids WILL NOT ride without theirs.

[310R_Dude]

Yes, everyone please wear a helmet. I am pretty sure
I would have died if not for wearing my helmet.

You be the judge:

Man i hope he alright.  Good thread to remind people to wear their helmets.
I crashed once when I was jumping. My helmet hit the dirt so hard I thought I knocked myself out. Im a beleiver they will save your life.

I was also there. it wasnt a pretty site, I hate to say this but these are the things that happen when you dont respect the sport. For 1 he was riding with out a helmet and 2 he was riding by himself.  Imagine there was maybe about 25 or 30 people there around the time it happend, and we all saw him sitting next to his bike as if he was working on it, after about 30 or 40mins my buddy asked him if he was alright and thats when he realized he was badly hurt.  And just like the last person sd after the helicopter left people were still riding without helmets and letting there kids ride without helmets.   We've gone to eureka before and we were the only group there, imagine if nobody was out there this guy probably wouldnt have made it.  We have a few pictures of his bike and of his getting worked on, im sure they will be posted once have them ready, i hope this message gets through to atleast one person, and they start wearing there helmet again.  Prayers to the rider and his family

This just happened over the weekend    Please don't think it can't happen to me.  My sincere condolances to the family 


Woman Killed When Overturned ATV Lands On Her

POSTED: 6:43 am EST November 21, 2005

CANAVERAL GROVES, Fla. -- A woman is dead after losing control of her all terrain vehicle in Brevard County.

The Florida Highway Patrol said 41-year-old Ronnie Cox was riding the ATV along Shadwell Avenue in Canaveral Groves on Saturday night. Her ATV overturned and landed on top of her.

When her friends realized she wasn't following behind them, they began searching for her and got into a separate crash.

Two people were hurt in that accident.

my son just wrecked on his atv at croom sat. did not find out until just an hour ago that he broke his arm just below the shoulder muscle he has no pain from it other than when he tries to lift it to his side. he is one tough dude he rode his bike yesterday with one arm i say kudos for him he is luckly that he wore his helmet also

[cutngrs]

sorry to here about the arm  hope it get better real soon

Helmets save lives. It's really that simple.

If you think helmets suck or wearing one is stupid; you probably won't ever make a significant enough contyribution to this world to be missed when your head gets smashed in. 

I can't even begin to imagine the number of injuries a helmet saved me from in the past. Everything from limbs smacking my helmet as I rode through the woods to high speed get offs and rolling/sliding on my head.

DID YOU SEE IT HAPPEN? IT IS MY FRIEND

[cutngrs]

no one saw it happen he rode down in to the pit  20 min later   me and my son rode in and saw him sitting there   he was moving around  it look like he was talking on a cell phone so we rode away  1 hour latter  some one else rode down there  and saw him and went up too him  and saw  all the blood  and they got him back up too the top  so i called 911 and then  i rode down and  followed   the tire tracks for about 900 feet and found the tree he hit   do you know how he is

[mid keneval]

He was in icu sunday i saw him looked pretty bad fracherd skull broken nose jaw cracked vertabra in neck  but he does know who he is , he is coherant but can't remember what happened.

oh i thought this was going to be another retards thread... retards and wearing helmets.... nevermind.

Anyways its always sad to hear of deaths/injuries, expecially something related to ATVs because that definitly hurts the sport.  On the news you never hear anything good about ATVs, only the bad news.

My teacher brought in some article the other day of a 13 year old that died on an ATV.  You know article writers for the palm beach post... very little research and previous knowledge of something, and not much thought in to the article.  So of course the article wasn't 100% correct....  My teacher was saything things about ATVs that was NOT true, so i definitly corrected him, and he was shocked.  He didnt know i rode etc, he was glad i corrected him too because he doesn't like misinformation, which is what the palm beach post is mainly.

[mid keneval]

He has been planing on gettin a helment  so he could go to bostwick creek track and ride with me
