Do you have to have a helmet to ride on the Kay Trail?

I believe that the only time a helmet is required on the Katy is for people who participate on the DNR ride, which they do require a helmet. I don't believe there is a state law in Missouri requiring bicycle helmets anywhere, even on roads. However, I always wear one when biking on streets, and take it off when I am on a flat trail like the Katy.

I know a man who was riding his bike without a helmet on a city street, when he unknowingly made a slight turn on some sand and went sprawling to the ground. He was knocked unconsious and woke up with a passerby helping him into her van, then taking him to the hospital. This experience made a believer out of him and he went out and bought helmets for his whole family. It's a shame that some have to go through the bad experience to learn of helmets usefulness. I have never taken a serious fall in 20 years of bicycling on streets and trails but I always wear my helmet because if I do fall, and injure myself I'd like to be awake and aware of my condition. And if I'm alone there is no one to call for help. These are just my thoughts.
