Stop the World! Kids Wear Bike Helmets Incorrectly!
Stop the World! Kids Wear Bike Helmets Incorrectly!
Now. If you're my age or a bit younger or older, you probably grew up riding your single, three, or ten speed, without, SHOCKER, a helmet! We're still here!
But, MSN feels the need to write a snippetly article about helmet usage by children and publish it today.
First, "children" aged 18? Um, I'd be remiss not to tell you, but those "children" can vote. I think that's a strange age for a study about children.
At any rate, here's the "state the obvious" quote of the day.
Gah!
(Brian, I am sure, is cackling right now. I often gripe at people (usually while driving by - doing no one any good) cycling at speeds at which I believe require a helmet. He's used the word "fascist" in correlation with my ranting. Indeed.)

-
Wearing a helmet while cycling has been found to sharply cut the risk of
head injuries, but wearing it improperly reduces the protective benefit, the
report said.

Parkinson urged pediatricians make a helmet fitting part of a childÂ’s
regular check-up.
Gah!
