My son was riding today on his dual sport at the St Voldomyr Park in Oakville, when he hit a snag line on the main road there. The approximate location is
here.
He was lucky as the line was a few inches above his throat but it did do damage to his helmet as seen
here,

here and
here.
I can't stop shaking when I think that this could have been his neck.
It's scary to think of what could have happened if he was riding a bit higher. WTF sicko is out there????
We went to Burlington Police to report what happened. The administrative officer was nice and gave us a number to call from a phone in the station. My son called. The officer on the other end told him that it's his fault as this was on private property. She basically ignored us.
We went back to the administrative officer and we were given another number to call after she had spoken with the officer on duty. When we called the number, we were told that an officer will come to our house to write up a complaint. They never did. They called. WTF dudes. My son was almost decapitated and you're acting like ********.
The old park in Oakville is frequently visited by many families. There are riders, bikers and walkers. Any one of those people could be hurt by the ******* who put the snag line. If he/she put it up once, he/she will put it up again until someone is hurt. We went to the police so that they would do something to ensure safety, not to be told to FO.
Riders...watch out and if you have any info as to who the sicko is that put the snag line out there then let me know and a few days later let the cops know.
