Watauga County government is concerned that skateboarders are not following the rules. “When the park opened and was unsupervised, about three-fourths of the park users were not wearing helmets.” This resulted in an unstated number of injuries, which is some percent higher or lower than the number of wounds sustained after security was hired. As governments look for ways to balance their budgets, it would be nice to do away with security wages. Many skateboarders’ lack of desire to inconvenience themselves with annoying rules without somebody who can make their lives miserable breathing down their necks, has led some to conclude that the skate park must close.
