I think it's pretty stupid not to wear a helmet - I've taken 3 falls off a road bike where major impact happened to my head and without a helmet pretty certain I would have suffered a skull fracture as even with the helmet I could feel a good degree of force.
My kid took a spill off his skateboard and suffered a fractured skull and was airlifted to a trauma center and spent 5 days there - can you say $65 k ?
Some states I believe require kids to wear a bike helmet. In CO the paths are getting more and more crowded - especially on weekends and like car drivers some people on bike are just plain idiots and haven't a clue regards safe riding. In recent yrs I've come across several bike to bike head on collisions with a least one of the bikers needing to be taken away on an ambulance.
