In my opinion and in the opinion of many, any adult who allows small children to race motorcycles is encouraging reckless endangerment and more, and under the right circumstances, child abuse charges could be brought. How about organized youth football, soccer, baseball, hockey or golf? * *All have inherent danger of injuries. * With the proper equipment, supervision, and correctly sized dirt bike, I am not sure it's any more dangerous than the other activities I mentioned. Eisboch There's a possibility of injury with many sports activities, of course, but adding in the element of motorization, speed, gasoline, vehicles that might weigh several hundred pounds, and bumpy courses, and the resulting injuries can be very serious. I don't believe "tackle" football should be played until high school. In all the years I played "organized" baseball in New Haven, I never saw a serious injury, and that includes Little League, Pony League, Babe Ruth League and Industrial League. Lots of bumps and bruises, strained muscles, et cetera, but no one was knocked unconscious or suffered a debilitating spinal column injury.

Here, idiot, learn something: Tonino used data from the U.S. Consumer Produce Safety Commission on injuries treated in emergency rooms.

If you read Kayaking and Motorcycle news groups as do I you would understand it is more of a political fight than anything else when it comes to motorbikes.. It is as much of a fraud, and perpretrated by almost as many as the Y2K and Global Taxing scams.. Seems it always leads to someones pocket.. |
