Things that go bump in the night

The north is a good place to wear a helmet. I am not kidding. Here in Yellowknife, head injuries have got to be way out of proportion to the rest of Canada. We see very little highway trauma, very little penetrating trauma but the number of subdurals, epidurals, subarachnoid bleeds, etc is incredible.

There are no helmet laws. People love skidoos and ATVs. People like to drink booze up here too.

Come to think of it, maybe there should be a helmet law for people who go to bars too...
