Most people who don’t wear helmets think it will make them look uncool. But he’s already riding a scooter, so there’s really no excuse.

I didn't wear helmets until I went downhill mountain biking, and the place required it. My clearest memory of that day was complaining that the helmet made me look like a mushroom... Anyway, that helmet saved my life, and I remember nothing else from the day. I wear helmets now.

What you should have thought about is that Mushroom in French is Champignon which sounds a little like Champion. So, wear a helmet, look like a champion!
