I’ve seen people take nasty falls walking down the sidewalk. Helmets for everybody! When you leave your house, put it on. In fact, wear one all the time!

The biggest mystery of all: how did Rep. Bob Constan grow up without any understanding whatsoever of the concept of “liberty”?

I’d like to introduce an amendment to also require helmet use while participating in a session of the Michigan State Legislature.

We had a 7th grader die last year at my son’s school due to head injury from skiing, but I haven’t heard any cry for mandatory helmets. Most people accept the risk as part of skiing.

Hey, how about instead of requiring helmets, we remove the objects these people are skiing into? Trees, poles that hold the lifts up, fences.... Doesn’t sound too practical, does it?
In the early 80’s, my cousin skied into a tree. A helmet wouldn’t have made any difference, he died of massive chest injuries.
Let’s just call it what it is: Acceptable risk. Maybe there's too much “there must be someone we can blame! This must be someone’s fault!”

Al those arrogant pricks said, “Great. It’ll save me a nickel.” when they passed the motorcycle helmet laws.
What goes around comes around. ROTFL!

If this passes, it will destroy the skiing industry in this country. As much as I love to ski, I will not go to any slope that insists I succumb to the nanny state.
Resort operators take note: there are millions of other skiers who feel the same way. It is in your best interest to fight this buttinsky-ism with all your might.

LOL at the idea that Michigan has big enough ski hills that anyone needs a helmet there.

all private automobile occupans must be required to wear helmets.
ALL of them.
IF you don’t want to wear a helmet, take the bus.

The bill calls for a $100 fine for those caught without helmets, but Constan said that fines would not be strictly enforced. "I don't want to see someone with a $100 fine who's an experienced skier," Constan said, "but the time has come to encourage people to wear helmets when skiing."
Boy, that's a great example of public policy. Announcing selective enforcement right from the get go. How did this guy ever get elected?

Authorities said a helmet could have prevented her death. Remember, never shower without first putting your helmet on.
