    The importance of wearing your helmet while riding an ATV

    I know I've blogged about this before, but riders of motorcycles and ATV's (All Terrain Vehicles) should always, always, always wear a helmet.  I know in Pennsylvania the law says that it's not necessary, but some riders who are involved in accidents pay the ultimate price.

    From the Towanda DailyReview.com:

    Robert Packer Hospital reported Monday that David Campbell of Sayre who was critically injured in an area ATV accident on Sunday has died.

    Campbell, 55, had been riding a 2005 Honda Rancher ES at 7:45 p.m. on July 6 on Marcy Hill Road in Monroe Township when he was thrown from his vehicle, according to state police.

    Campbell, who police stated had not been wearing a helmet, had sustained a severe head injury and was flown to Robert Packer Hospital, police stated.

    Here's more coverage of this horrible accident from The Morning Times.
