New Calls For Helmets After Slew Of Tobogganing Accidents In The GTA

So here is my thought on this headline, which I found on the City TV news website after seeing the story on TV.

Bail.

That's right - bail.

If your Toboggan is heading towards:

- a wall (who puts a wall at the bottom of a hill?)
- a tree
- people (really the people should bail, if they don't they are just dumb)
- any other large immovable object

Yes folks. If you are on your sled, toboggan, flying saucer (I love my fluorescent yellow one) or cardboard box (isn't this what Charlie Brown used) and you see an object at the bottom of the hill and you feel that you might hit it YOU NEED TO ABANDON SHIP. It is time to jump off the sled and save yourself.

Politicians are looking at mandating helmets for tobogganing. No way. All you need is a little common sense and some timing. Common sense enough to know to bail and a sense of timing that gets you off the sled before you hit a wall.
