We find your front page photo of the boy rollerblading without a helmet in midair totally irresponsible! Why glorify such recklessness with such a picture?

On Oct. 1 last, a young man was skateboarding near the Acadia Park Visitors Center without a helmet. He fell backwards hitting his head. He died of his injuries on Oct. 3. A helmet may have saved his life.

You could have taken a closeup picture of the other boy who was wearing a helmet. You are supposed to be a responsible media institution – act like one. God forbid you ever lose a loved one while skateboarding.
