2009 AMA Congress Recommendation

Advisory Committee: 
Proposal Num: 84
Submitted by: Alan Mathwig
District: 23

Congress Decision: Rejected

Recommendation:

Rider:  Look into suggesting or requiring all riders to have a helmet removal system installed in helmets. Cost $59.99


Promoter:  Will require (or have available for on site use) first responder/medical people to have a helmet removal system. Cost $99.99


Examples included:  Eject helmet removal system and Eject EMT/First Responder Helmet removal kit w/inflator bulb.

Reason for recommendation:

If a device this inexpensive that can help a rider from further spine injury is not a requirement, that alone could be considered irresponsible.
