So I would counter we ban street hockey for example as there will be more people hurt from that sport. You realize the list could go on. Lets ban alcohol as well and the list goes on.

This is not completely correct.
To not require a helmet requires that the owner of the off-road vehicle is the occupier of the land.

Nobody said anything about a ban. This is about mitigating risk, in particular in a country that has socialized medical care. If you really want to be the pseudo rebel with the no-muss hair fine, pay the "tax" with a ticket and don't cry about it.

I work with people with head injuries. Some were caused by another's actions, some were not. In some cases the person with the injury is so effected they have no clue that their life is different but no matter their condition their family lives with the consequences every day.

100% true Woodsman . Just last year we had a guy from our hunt camp given a ticket for no helmet on private property, because he was not the owner-resident of said property.

GW, you are also the one who said anyone who goes 5 km. over the speed limit, cannot complain about anyone else breaking the law about anything. So we know you are one to go to extremes...LOL.

I bet more people were injured by playing football this week then all the people driving with no ATV helmet this summer.

Ban Football

By the way even had a cop pull up to me when I had no helmet on private land. Next you'll tell me I cant a skidoo on private farmland (With permission) without a trail permit

Nobody is banning atv riding.

If you have permission to be on that land you do not need a helmet. According to my two Ottawa Police friends. My best friend down the road (21 years) his girl friend Ottawa Cop with 25 years doesn't agree with you.
