Helmets while you sled?

" There two to require in the state of Massachusetts kids while sliding to be wearing helmets well it's an amazing coincidence that this story if he has and that there's an idea being kicked around on Beacon Hill that this should be discussed debated and -- you know perhaps decide it. Donna and I were talking about this yesterday -- on the plane as we pulled our without our knowledge of without -- because like any of the pending legislation of the proposal to on Beacon -- We were talking about this in east specifically with forgot to rag and and the other grandchildren -- Everything and make a rule for the family or oh without a doubt I'm with -- without a doubt for example this summer I expect that I'll be taken Ragheb. For lots of -- on some of the bike -- stomach -- she's tour and a half now so I misled or vice on the bottom on a bicycle -- so I would she is actually going to be fitted for a helmet and the other -- of the other grandchildren when they -- of agents that hanging out with pop. And going for bike -- with pop up. They're going to have a helmet on that's required by law are I would do the same thing if we will don't skiing which I don't think is required dialogue but -- which I think is an appropriate. Decision by apparent RBI for child. And I would absolutely includes letting in and I -- seen too many accidents. They're going to girl you've just made a wonderful point that parents and guardians and people who take care of children should do their best to make good judgments about how to protect there we go in a dangerous world yeah. So while I personally favor helmets from the time of birth until age five. In all out of -- activity. Just helmet camera right the beginning of the day -- And get it over with because there's danger everywhere. -- You're listening to AM 680 WRKO Todd -- Tom Finneran yet he is wide. I I think it's appropriate for the legislature to consider this first of all they've mandated by the child seats of a certain size web site says it's an incredibly painful and ridiculous and so it's over the top -- But isn't just have to be 35 now to get a car -- fund undoubtedly during the course of any given week when you when -- broadcast together. Topic after topic presents itself. Of people whose judgment adults -- who's judgment is seriously. Defective you know complete. Completely libertarian approach or purify and they want to be stupid the stupid. But the way they endanger others sometimes including the own children. Not just abuse but neglect -- real difference. Is something where I don't think it's inappropriate for the state to say look you have to have a seat belt on the -- they have attached a currency. If you're biking with a child the child has to have a helmet on his just abundant medical evidence and I'll just say you know while while the of the listeners will probably take my head off. Among them. Any pediatrician. All all all our religions -- the last people want to go to our and our margins -- more all they see is the track position is if they are seeing a million kids who bought a -- device a lot of -- and they -- why let facts say see them one and enough volume so they're appalled -- see the absolute. -- weakness of the parent two candidates. I never thought that a child banged his head on concrete. Obama might endanger his his health and wellbeing Kabbah would you please look at that dotted -- stadium of course and it isn't because."

" Where do you draw the line on this stuff if it is indeed the job of the government to make sure the people make. Rational judgments on behalf of their kids. Then you get into a whole food regulation thing you banned parents from buying sugar products for their kids you ban the manufacture cereal was shorter the do you favor that's suffer as well now. Now why don't usually consider though I think more kids are injured every year by the serial varied. Then are served him well I mean there's no question that are injured -- Have any idea to require helmets for sliding is taking again the control away from the parents who were responsible for the kids. And saying it's somebody else's judgment about how they should best handle the --"

" Well but that's when you talk about the regulation of food -- mainly in of them that the toppled affects of let's say sugar sugar cereals and alike. Can be offset by other thing exactly upset by -- How how do you offset a brain injury the child comes you know -- and down a hill hits a little bomb goes off this got a little goes up the sled head first into a tree on the golf course that it's letting on. I mean if if if we are really -- Israel is that you abroad some kind of hunger strike when the legislature imposed. The the helmet -- requirement for -- felt I thought it was ridiculous job you know and if you look at the research that led the dissident is free human done you know freedom is an impressionist it is."

" Well sure because you have to put the helmet on the -- every time they go to jump on the body. They get off to get a drink of water they -- the thing off stage -- that's why everybody needs minivans and SUVs is so much paraphernalia to operated child today is unbelievable. Well what -- onion is another encroachment on your personal liberty in my personal liberty to come and go as we please and called red lights. Now you okay so there's a red light but if you put a reasonable regulator red light is reasonably you don't have -- so you don't have chaos what are we don't have chaos on the slopes. You know there is no compelling problem here that's being -- one good thing about this. Is that it's a dumb enough issue for legislature to be busy with they can have two great debates and hearings. On whether they should regulate sliding. To require helmets on kids they'll get them off of the cell phone thing for couple minutes right Erica yes so -- top this is a sure venom of a stupid legislation that would prevent them from doing other stupid legislation. Do you have a bank -- sure you have -- broke my leg to did you what are they gonna do did you make you wear a brace when you skis he can't regulate La. You did you -- a lesbians -- as a national who so I think he should be bandits it's hot hot it's threats of job what you should have to be eighteen undergo skin option. Let's put this out to all 617. 2666868. In other -- the point is this so many threats I mean I don't how it feels he'll like he'll watch the grandchildren learning to walk. And you know do you eat your -- changes right around -- every object. Is like gay and invading ailing our -- warrior the edge of any table. Coffee table end table Lisa I was -- share anything -- this was wrong with this -- paragraphs -- how come they haven't -- the table you look at every object -- right it's everything is a threat that is and I think this is a part of our affluence and indulgence as a society that there should be no threats -- but we all we know when we talk about on a regular basis that it's actually more dangerous to remove all threats then it is the the safety that's -- so all around. Kids learning to make good judgments on our I would be -- I would absolutely be in favor requiring this since for preference for sledding just the way the legislature is required helmet on -- for the minimal inconvenience. And for the the protection that is secured. -- And then -- hurtling through the a toward a tree that's not quite -- resources airline industry that supplies of oil and natural selection if they don't make the choice is a little I don't know how much trade. -- We again helmets all the kids are well see that's all that's okay that's your judgment that's your choice and Walter what do you think of us."

" Oh what a great idea let it well oh. Yeah. And I and several were able to raise revenue in the -- though. Let up so -- lets you -- this school out bailout program I got. Hundreds.

" Literally have the you know the the fox in the plexiglas whenever he would call a plexiglas -- that would come down and would. Give for some type of protection afforded the eyes the nose and elect. So characters are against everything American city of BS about the sliding legislation will prove you we don't want to bike helmet you want something with a face guard as well I think you probably wanted. A combined -- we have to do research though to find out if by having the face guard you might sustain more neck injuries.
