Quick Hit: Massachusetts and Coddling Young'uns

Requiring a helmet while sledding is one of the dumbest ideas I've heard:
... some people are pushing for a law that would require children, 12 and younger, to wear a helmet while sledding ... Panagiotakos argues that a state that requires children to wear helmets while bicycling - as Massachusetts does - should mandate the same equipment for sledding.

Seriously Massachusetts? Should we all wear bright orange jackets when crossing the street so cars see us, too?
