California Helmet Law

Allow helmet free skiing if you present a valid insurance card. I have a better idea. No dickless RSA freak gets to spew his **** in person unless he presents a valid insurance card. Oooooops, forgot. No insurance plan on the planet covers nut implants. Which raises the question: how is Tranny Boob financing his "transition"? |

I think I'm buying a helmet this year. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg Ny skiing injuries have been limited to a sprained ankle (hit a water bar I didn't see when a wind gust blew snow across my vision and I went flying) and a bruised knee (hit a rock hidden in a shallow-snow cat track and landed on another one). No helmet would have helped those. Your head is a little bit more delicate and a bit more difficult to access if you suffer the same trauma as did your knee. A concussion or a contusion is a pretty serious injury.. There are reasons why neurosurgeons have the longest residencies of physicians, (besides ironically, Plastic Surgeons) I am all for protecting one's head at all cost. It is either Personal Freedom and years of Physical Therapy, or the Nanny State, and less drastic measures. I am all for preventative medicine and cost benefit actions to lower medical costs and prevent more serious injuries. I like how personal freedom is at stake, because a requirement to wear a helmet while skiing, but there is no qualms about personal freedom, if Highway patrol demand a driver to a ski area to have snow tires or chains on their car. Ditto with Seat Belt laws 1. Unfettered personal freedom stops where your actions put others lives at risk. Driving a vehicle in conditions where chains are required crosses that line. 2. Seat belt laws pretty much *are* the same curtailment of personal freedom as making helmets mandatory (with a small caveat for the fact that a driver with a belt on will very occasionally be able to maintain control he'd otherwise lose without the belt). I assume most people on this group think that Texans going 80 mph in their rented SUV with all weather tires to Vail or another Colorado ski destination resort does not fall into personal freedom. I think all Texans should wear crash helmets in Rocky Mountain States during the Winter in their rented SUVs. I wear a ski helmet for two reasons. First, I have taken to many spills, especially if my tele ski lose an edge on the first turn down a colouir or some other steep slope. I rather have some assurance that If I do fall, the blows to my noggin have some absorption by the ski helmet. Second, I like to wear it, because it is much warmer on my head combine with a balaclava. Actually at times, it is too warm, especially during a not exactly freezing day in the Cascades. The only time I really don't like wearing my bike helmet is when it is really hot and dry out, and I just put on a baseball cap, which is a bit more comfortable, but I always feel I am just increasing my risks. To make this thread, OB: Jean Paul Satre/Monty Python Sketch, how can we all be free if we are tied to material possessions? -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg |

Head trauma that made you commit felony perjury and lie about doing so ever since? Head trauma that makes you come up with the insane and defamatory lies you've been spewing for years? No wonder you have never been man enough to talk your **** in person. Afraid of more head trauma, eh, pppppuuuuussssssyyyyy? |

Any comment on Baker ppppuuuuusssssyyyyying out on his oft repeated threat to lie to the Seattle cops? You know, the same lie you supposedly told them. You know, felony false reporting and knowingly lying to the police? I LOVE IT!!!!! Waldron, Baker, Henry right in a row. Waldron lied to the cops and got laughed out of court after committing felony perjury, and his buddies threatened to do the same thing: falsely accuse me of threatening their lives. Waldron was damn lucky he didn't get prosecuted, and it looks like Dickless Henry and Baker were smart enough to only talk **** here, not when they could get jailed for doing so. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAH What a bunch of pathetic ppppppuuuuuuusssssiiiiiiiiieeesssss!!!!! Still waiting for that call from SPD. Contact info? Where is Brain Fried Bob when I need him? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA |
