ski & snowboard competitors still use jofa gear.
I liked my jofa guard, in the 60s and 70s, for woods-riding...along with my leather gloves with the black rubber rib running the length of each finger.

my leather gloves with the black rubber rib running the length of each finger.

The hottest selling glove for the "woods" riders, and the scrambles/motocross riders at the shop I used to work at.

I remember the seatbelts on my school bus. I was the only one that would ever use them. It was obvious as they were never broken in.

Wolf, that is ridiculus, you can walk down the steps yourself. Just wear an OSHA approved safety harness.

Bicycle helmet laws for kids.

Not even sure how I feel about that yet it does seem to make sense.

I just remember riding my bmx everywhere as a kid with no helmet and feel a little sorry for today's kids.

We were smart enough, on our own, to put our bmx racing helmets on for some of the extreme jumps though.

They wanted to make bicycle helmets mandatory for adults as well. Part of the argument was that you did not even need to be moving to get hurt.

Just falling over from "that height" could cause head trauma.

By that logic, it makes far more sense to mandate helmets when sitting on a bar-stool and imbibing an alcoholic substance.

I mean, you could fall and it is generally the same height as a bicycle.

Guy showing his 4-year-old daughter how to ride one of those razor scooters about 10 years ago in Northern Virginia hit a bump, fell off, hit his head and died.

No helmet.

Life is dangerous.

so, then, it's settled :
mandatory helmet use for kids climbing trees.
(do any of them actually even do that anymore?)

"Dude, what are you in for?"

"Tree-climbing without a helmet"

"You selfish, worthless human being"

Helmet?? not enough, first, rubber playground chips are to be laid out around said tree.

Next, full rock climbing gear with ropes and harness, and of course a lesson on how to climb safely....

And absolutely no swinging on vines!!

Commercial for, ahem, Vitaminwater had a guy tumbling down steps in a bubblewrapped world...and STILL had the do not try this warning on the ad.

So I shouldn't try to bubble wrap stairs and then tumble down them- good to know, thanks.

Oh and "The Pill" does not protect against STD's... really, we need that warning???

At various points in my childhood I suffered broken bones, bloody noses, black eyes and had cuts that required stiches doing things that nowadays would be considered lawsuit material...

THEN I got into BMX and Freestyle (stunt riding) on the ramps (first year or 2 no gear). In 6 years of BMX/Stunt riding I broke one rib, had one concussion (never saw a Doctor for either) and won 2 State Championships...

The concussion probably expalins a lot!! LOL

Safety starts with common sense... gear is optional, but a very good practice!!!

Something my great granpa said when I was a kid I will always remember it, he lived to be 100 by the way. Quit drinking the wife says well my doctor told me to quit drinking right before he FlucKIN DIED with his heavy Scottish brogue.
Maybe the doc was right I would have listened but not him its what made him tick and I loved him just the same.
Just do what you feel is right as long as you meet on the level and part on the square with most things in life you cant go wrong.

Nice, but I have a vague feeling of being in a Jimmy Stewart movie.

there is nothing that teaches you your limits faster than a broken bone. I remember growing up, you could count the kids that hadnt had one or two broken, one one set of fingers.... now? Hell how could you let your child roam about the world with the possibility of them being injured like that.... Bubble wrap for everything.

This is why European countries typically produce far superior Ski racers.
I far prefer to teach & coach, over there.
