Several hundred were injured. Mot were a)not wearing helmets, b) on way too big of a machine and c)on paved roads. All no-nos. What happens when kids take off their helmets and ride on the freeway? They get hurt/killed, that\'s what. 784 bicyclists died on US roads in 2005. If you average it out, that\'s over 15 deaths per state per year, only on bicycles. Why are bicycles not outlawed? Too many kids are getting killed on bikes. Where\'s the outrage? And what about pedestrians? over 120 died in So Carolina in 2006 alone! OVER 120 PEOPLE DIED WALKING IN ONE STATE IN ONE YEAR!! Where\'s the outrage? That\'s 40 times more than died on ATVs. Where\'s the outrage? Where\'s Cindi to stand up for 6 year old walkers? BTW, regardless of what misinformation that article claims about the CPSC being in kahoots with the ATV industry, I can show you countless reports from them that are clearly against ATVs. - Matt Tue, 07 Aug 2007 08:40:37 +0100
