Have you ever picked up a dead kid from a accident?
I rate that worse than visiting with the parents.
Your question has a real simple answer, step up to the plate.
A conversation that starts out with....I'm very uncomfortable bringing up a very troubling issue.... I was uneasy at first, but I know you are good parents that would like to know....
I'm very troubled with law suits that involve the manufacture, but any four wheeler that does over twenty...well If you take a small buggy and hook fourty horses to it and start whipping the horses...you will get the same results.
Sorry folks, I don't buy in to this (pretty safe) at fourty, and no helmet needed...well that is just a total pant load.
When our crew goes out to load up a victum off the highway, we all feel pretty sad, yet if the operator and passengers did not take the first step to prevent a head injury...well why should we feel bad when we can not save them? The cost of the helmet is probably less than one perk on the machine.
When my son turned fourteen, he bought a moped. I asked about a helmet, and offered to pay for one. The answer was no way was he going to wear a helmet. The moped was gone in less than a week. He has a family now, and he is very protective of his children including helmets for their bicycles. I still bring up the (no way) issue once in a while.
Parents need to be the parent, or otherwise suffer the outcome.
On the plus side, some one may live because of a organ donor, and I will try my best to not have it be my grandchilds organs.
I sound pretty sick, but so many kids die every year because the parents are trying to be nice to their kids.........to often with bad results.
