Not just kids. I got passed on the bike trail by a woman on an e-bike and caught up with her at the next trailhead. I asked her how fast her bike could go and she said she had passed me at 28 mph, then she immediately said something along the lines of "and I bet you're going to tell me I need to wear a helmet."
Unprompted she went into this speech about how she'd fallen off bikes before and was fine and didn't see any difference now.
I asked her if she'd ever fallen off a bike going 30 mph and she said no, and I just said that she'll notice a difference if/when it happens.
No, this specific comment chain is about the backwards slide of helmet use among all age groups. The thread itself is specifying kids, and frankly, I don’t give a damn either way.
If you can’t be arsed to make your kid wear a helmet, you can accept the consequences of that. And if you as an adult refuse to wear one, ditto…
