No Helmets or Pads

 I started an online petition so that hopefully no helmets or pads will be required at the new park.  The statement is as follows:

To:  Durham City Government

To ensure that upon completion and opening of the Durham Skatepark, that helmets and pads not be required for persons utilizing the park. The plaza should be a designated area where skateboarders and the community can meet and utilize the area provided by the city of Durham. Helmets and pads can cause more falls and injuries to experienced skateboarders, than prevent injuries. That helmets and pads are advised but not required. That persons who skate the plaza do so at their own risk, and can not hold the city of Durham responsible for any injury caused by using the designated Durham City Skate Plaza. By sighing this petition you ensure that both skateboarders and the City of Durham's needs be met. Working together we can create a skate plaza that is safe and practical for all citizens of Durham.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
