Although they are trying to change the laws...
As part of the settlement, Paramount Canada's Wonderland agreed to request an exemption to the helmet requirement for Sikhs from the Ministry of Government Services and the Technical Standards and Safety Authority. Both parties are in the process of reviewing the request, said Tom Ayres, a lawyer with the organization.
However later down it talks about insurance...
Peter Primdahl, underwriting director at K&K Insurance Group in Mississauga, said he would be very reluctant to insure an amusement ride business if they allowed some patrons to ride without helmets -- even if the helmet law is amended.
If they can't get insurance for the ride, chances are they will stick with helmets being mandatory, or just get rid of the ride all together.

Ok. I guess I misunderstood that. Just so I'm clear, he did get some money right? My problem is that nobody should have to worry about a public backlash, court-costs, or anything like that as a result of asking a person to wear a helmet for a ride where EVERYBODY HAS TO WEAR ONE.
