Fine the numb nutts who let kids ride them or carry multiple people and crash the things. Often not farmers FFS.
Riding <30 kph on flat Dairy farm - no need for helmet IMO. Rolling the bike and being crushed is the main risk, and no helmet is saving you then (this is where rider training should come in).
There is also the practicality of putting it on and off MULTIPLE times even within half an hour as you are on and off the bike all day. Maybe helmets should be worn at all times (high viz to boot)there is a fuck load more dangerous things on farm... This is easy to police though, much like small speed infringements on the road.
God forbid people doing their own risk assessments and taking personal responsibility for their safty.
As for the ACC cost when someone does get a head injury.... Farmers pay out huge ACC levies anyway then have to battle tooth and nail to get any sort of income cover, to a point where many don't bother.

"A bit steep"? It's fucking outrageous...Originally Posted by Flip
They own their business and choose not to have a compulsory helmet policy. They take all the risk themselves. It would be different if they refused to supply helmets to staff... Maybe 40k could be justified. Staff should though also be able to deside if they wear helmets or not, personal responsibility; but must have them available to them IMO.
Safty Nazis fuck off.

Problem is they don't, they operate on the "it won't happen to me" idea

Likely due to the dickheads that would have us wear mandatory bubble wrap suits and do the thinking for us.Something that seems to be disappearing from the human race at an alarming rate.

Sometimes when you see the actions of some of the fuckers around the place, I can understand the reasoning. But I feel it is all getting a bit out of hand.Likely due to the dickheads that would have us wear mandatory bubble wrap suits and do the thinking for us.

Unfortunately, yes. Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better though.

Then enforce blanket rules effecting everyone, often targeting the wong people (those who think or are least prone to the risks trying to be mitigated). Case in point the couple pinged 40k.
