Title: My son's 16 year old cousin injured...NO HELMET!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Darrin's 16 year old cousin was serverly injured this morning while riding his 4 wheeler and had to be air lifted to Shands in Gainesville...as of now we know he has severe head trama. Sad for a 16 year old...details are a little schetchy as of now other then the fact that he WAS NOT wearing a helmet....


I know most ALL of us on here gear up before we ride and teach our children the same rule...NO HELMET-NO RIDE-NO EXPECTIONS!!!!!!

SO help police OUR SPORT next time you are out riding and see someone without a helmet, ask them to help keep our sport safe, wear a helmet...no wonder SO MANY private land owners don't want 4 wheels on there property...afarid of getting sued by someone elses STUPIEDTY!!!!!!!!!

That's terrible. I hate to hear of anyone getting hurt, especially a child. It really burns me up to  hear that he wasn't wearing a helmet.
