I agree, it is up to the park. Right now it is a personal decision but I guarantee you all that it is short lived. Like with the evolution with other sports, with increased head injuries helmets (and other safety gear for that matter) will eventually be mandatory everywhere. I would honestly rather see the park choose to make it mandatory at all of their beaches. I am obviously very passionate about this subject and am opinionated about it.
What I have to say to all you guys is this:
Wouldn't it be cool if St. Petersburg local riders ALL wore helmets and we became pioneers of developing safe kiting guidelines everywhere? We could all feel good about knowing that we saved some lives...
Great poll Chris, a step in the right direction to make a difference!
