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.
