An ATV crash amid softball fields at a public park sent two men to the hospital Monday evening, officials said.
"Just about" every time I read any news in regards to "ATV Accident" it is usually no protective gear "helmet".
Neither man was wearing a helmet, according to a Florida Highway Patrol press release.
Both Parker and Clark, his passenger, were ejected.

Would helmets prevented their trip to the hospital?
A helmet is a personal choice, not a law YET.
If you crash and your torso is ripped in half, what will a helmet do for you anyway?
Personally, I wear mine when driving my car and crossing the street, you can never be to careful!
