Not a chance. Not even to the mailbox and back.

No helmet, no biking, skiing, hockey, skateboarding, sledding.

Those of you who are saying you biked all ov3er4 with no helmet, so it must be safe....

are idiots.


We used to drill teeth without Novocain, too. Would you like that?

What about the kids who suffered brain injuries? Don't know any so it must not happen?

Do you wear seat belts? Nobody used to, why should we now?

No-partly because it only takes once and partly because not being able to go to his friends house is a good natural consequence for breaking family rules by riding his bike without his helmet.

+1 Unfortunately it only takes once.

DS texted me that he forgot his helmet this morning (how could DH have missed this?!?) and is supposed to bike to his friend's house after school. Grrrrr.......
