I have heard of many young snowboarders that became paralyzed. Young people think they are indestructible and it's up to the adults to protect them until they are no longer stupid. I don't think protective gear, when available, is too much to ask. My son landed on his head a couple times making huge jumps on his motorcycle. Had he not been wearing $800 worth of protective head & neck gear he would likely have been seriously hurt.

Just before the game I received a dozen beautiful roses in the mail delivered by UPS. My wife was VERY curious who had sent me roses. I found the card in the box. It was from Chewy.com, the place I buy all my cat food. Very odd.

what's amazing when you think about it, these parents are putting their 14-16 year old kids into what equates to college level football. These same parents would never allow that.
On the other hand, I never had, and still don't have a bicycle helmet. I destroyed my first dirt bike wearing geans and a tshirt. What eventually did me in was becoming complacent at work with something I'd done 100 times before
