    Another black eye for ATV riders

    A guy in Parma, Ohio decided it would be cool to start ripping up a few area lawns with his quad. When the police showed up, he thought a police chase would be really cool too. He blew through an intersection, hit a car, flew off the quad and went through another car's windshield. He died of head trauma. From what was left of the quad, it looked like a YFZ450, but its hard to tell. The guy was not wearing a helmet. Of cource this was not charaterized as a criminal fleeing the police with a machine that wasnt street legal and who wasnt bright enough to put a helmet on before illegally running through traffic. Instead it was summed up as "another death due to an ATV accident".

    This, kids, is why we do not allow the glorification of "running from the cops" posts. we all get to suffer the consequences of the image in which the idiots portray us.

    2 people just got killed In Michigan within the last 2 months. They also were not wearing helmets. Some people don't know how to ride, or can't handle the power of the machine. Then to top It off they don't put a helmet on. Those who don't wear a helmet don't Impress me one bit. I sometimes wonder If they think they are cool because they don't wear one, I think when you don't wear a helmet It's like wearing a big bilboard sign on your head, look at me I'm an . Sorry, but thats just my 2 cents.

    I see it all the time. I was watching the show "Off To War". When one of the guys got back from Iraq he bought a 4 wheeler. Of course thinking he was the greatest he got stupid when he was drinking and broke his arm on the 4 wheeler. The guy laughed about it saying he did not spill his beer. Thanks for giving us anouther black eye to us kid. I would say 99.9% of the major accidents happen because people doing stupid stuff. The worst accident I had I cracked my skull. I was also so drunk I could barely walk. It was 100% my fault. I don't drink anymore and always wear my helmet. I am now always 100% awhere of my surroundings and prepared for what could happen.

    Man, if you ask me stpidity is a bigger problem than obesity and most everything else. Its too bad he died no doubt, but putting that aside for a minute, the damage he and people like that do isnt even comprehendable. Tree huggers use stuff like that to BAN us from a sport that is a part of us as a stupid acorn and weed is a part of them. And then little kids see this on the news are scared of a sport that can very easily be turned into a family event!......

    Just seen another one on tv this morning. Said Fatal atv accident. The guy again was riding on the road again without a helmet and was hit by a car. It was up in Mt. Gilead. Only about 10 minutes from me. Did'nt say if he was intox. or not. The police around here are usually pretty cool about riding down the road for short spurts but only to get to where you're going,. I bet they won't be now.

    This goes to show that it only takes 1 Persons STUPID actions to spoil it for the rest of us. Guys do the right thing and help AVOID being the Lead Story on the evening news!!
