INJURY PREVENTION

ATTENTION: HELMET LAW

Oregon law requires youth 15 years of age and younger to wear safety helmets when riding on skateboards, scooters, and in-line skates in public places.

Public places include but are not limited to streetes, sidewalks, parking lots, and skate parks.

FAILURE TO WEAR protective headgear is a TRAFFIC VIOLATION that carriers a FINE of $25 for each offense.
