Gubment should require everyone be issued an expandable, padded, cast iron casket at birth...to be worn every time you leave home. As you grow, the casket expands to accomodate your growth. Then, when you die (at the age of 147), you can be buried in it.
Or require bubble suits and ban anyone from leaving their couch.
People fall in their showers and drown in their tubs so ban bathing.
Mother’s milk contains cancer cells so ban breast feeding.
Hamburgers also contain cancer causing agents and lord knows what other toxins and it once moo’ed so ban them as well.
There’s toxins in the air so they might as well ban breathing whild they’re at it.
We can all live in bubbles.
If Johnny is shooshing downhill on a sled while not wearing a helmet and then cracks his little skull there is only the sled manufacturer with deep enough pockets to be worth suing and sled manufacturers have been defending against frivolous lawsuits for decades and have gotten pretty good at it.
Now new products like “sled head protection”(helmets have to specialize)will be untried and unproven long enough to pay out perhaps billions (remember,head injuries are expensive)to bloodsucking tort attorneys until the manufacturers finally either perfect the product or have experienced winning legal defense teams.
Either way,the bloodsuckers win.
The left would have me arrested for child abuse.
Is there snow on the ground outside your home? Are your local politicians making your kids wear sled helmets yet? If not then watch them, because the next big Nanny State idea is to force your child to wear helmet while snow sledding. As per my decision last Month, I am allowing my articles that have no videos to be posted in full as Amos McCoy did this morning. .........

These people would’ve totally freaked out at the downhill antics we would do. We used to turn the hose used to flood the local ice skating rink down some hills in the woods so we could ice skate down them. Man, what a gas, especially avoiding the big rocks at the side of the creek!
Hey, don’t give Mike Bloomberg any more wacky ideas for NYC.
I doubt this will get anywhere in Connecticut. CT does not mandata helmet use for motorcylists. And we teach our kids how to fall off a toboggan when a tree is coming.
My sister (still) has a scar on her chin from hitting a snow bank some 45 or 50 years ago
That’s why I preferred the aluminum saucers with handles on the side. You can tip them up backwards when you’re about to hit a tree, thus saving your head (but seriously denting up the saucer).
“Is there snow on the ground outside your home?”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Northern Summit County, Ohio. Lake Effect snow belt. My drive was plowed 3 hours ago. The snow is already 8” deep again. Will probably have it plowed again later, as I’m on emergency call 24/365. Snow on the ground is more that 2 feet deep.
I myself would personally laugh at my son if he wore a helmet sledding. That’s ok because they don’t allow sledding on public land here anyway and they enforce this on private property.
Simple physics

“These people would’ve totally freaked out at the downhill antics we would do. “
Our sledding path ran along the edge of a cliff! Jimmy ended up in the top of a tree once! Luckily, the cliff was only about 30 feet high where he slid off. “Suicide Hill” of course. Only three of us would sled there. Our parents had no clue.
“Hey, don’t give Mike Bloomberg any more wacky ideas...”
What are they gonna do, sled off the Empire State Building?
