| Re: Edson Atv Rally - July 4, 2009
No helmets are not mandatory. Anybody that has been to a poker rally where helmets are manditory knows it is an unenforceable requirement. We need a law to really deal with the problem.
In the past few years not wearing a helmet meant you ran into me on the trail; advise in previous years, but likely an escalation in our efforts this year.
When we started looking at helmet use in 2002 we had about 25% of participates wearing helmets. In 2007 it was 93% and last year was 96%. Out of all the things this club accomplished while I was President, it is these stats that I am most proud of.
Next Wednesday is the last club meeting before the poker rally. There will be a motion put forward that will ensure an escalation in how we deal with those not wearing helmets.
